I collect memories, moments of being states of life where I feel whole, stakes that don’t resemble loss. Things are fuzzy now, but when I look at you life could not feel any clearer. At your gaze, my mind takes a lifetime of pictures. I collect memories carried like burdens, proof that my love is always late. Maybe this was enough leeway is this how I repay life for not being punctual? A struggle to preserve what I know will matter long after the moment ends. I collect memories that demand payment for every second of comfort they give a past that consumes pieces of me when I peek, a past so consuming I'm starting to lose my place in the present. What we were still lives pressed in me like fading light time I won’t surrender.

Where happy lives...In me
I collect memories, moments of being states of life where I feel whole, stakes that don’t resemble loss. Things are fuzzy now, but when I look at you life could not feel any clearer. At your gaze, my mind takes a lifetime of pictures. I collect memories carried like burdens, proof that my love is always late. Maybe this was enough leeway is this how I repay life for not being punctual? A struggle to preserve what I know will matter long after the moment ends. I collect memories that demand payment for every second of comfort they give a past that consumes pieces of me when I peek, a past so consuming I'm starting to lose my place in the present. What we were still lives pressed in me like fading light time I won’t surrender.
It's the drug I took ,its how I took her presence as my dependence It's poison numbing and comforting For every memory it consumed you
