Let's steal a little piece of forever -
(don't worry love, forever can't be
ripped apart or ruined by human hands,
the way ”i'll love you forever”'s or hearts can)
Just a little piece, enough for you and me
to sense that gasp-developing touch
of experiencing a moment of eternity.
~ ~ ~
Let's steal the stars from the sky -
(please, honey, I always wanted a star
that didn't burn my fingers or make me blind
and I've been disappointed too many times)
Steal the brightest star behind the clouds for me,
make it illuminate your beautiful features,
and then make me believe I'm not dreaming.
~ ~ ~
Let me steal your upper lip -
(don't be scared darling, it's just because
I fell in love with the tiny silver scar it has
and I've been thinking about it ever since)
At least let me touch it, kiss it, feel it against mine;
let me stare at it, dazzled by the words it forms
and the way your eyes sparkle along with the stolen star.
~ ~ ~
Let me explain one thing to you -
(you don't have to finish my sentences here,
'cause I don't think you know what I'll say
though you did guess right several times before)
I want to tell you, that I fear I'm getting in too deep;
that they're right when they say you can't steal stars for me,
and that our forever won't exist, because we're an impossible match.
I don't need eternity if you just promise me
that you won't let me drown in heartache in the end.
