Sway

Is it worse to break your own heart, or keep it out of harms way? Smoke stings my lips, these thoughts of your hips, moving with mine... It's the only thing keeping me from the clouds tonight. Passion is madness, but Jack and I both know the mad ones are more fun. If I could give you my breath, I would. If you let me love you, I could. I wish I could understand, I should. I have around 30,000 nights left on this planet, and I want to spend every damn one of them with you. It's cold enough in this universe without the help of shoulders being turned. No matter what happens, the earth will still spin. The stars will still shine, and the sun will still burn, but it won't be the same to me. I will bend to the wind and the rain and to gravity. I will sail away, never to return. I will sleep with the stars and the sky, but I will always remember your sway.
