I painted my lips
In the colour of your love.
Dark, everlasting,
On the show, for everyone.

So deep, it burned.
The desire scorched deep into my bones.
Passion was a feeling,
I showed everyone what it looked like.
With you.

Every night, you took my breath away.
Every morning, made me glow with grace.
In your company, I knew what happiness is.
Your kisses so ferocious,
They made me dance on thin air.

Your touch so gracious,
It made me tumble into a pool of heated mess.
Oh, what are you doing to me, love?
It's driven me senseless,
I'll try to contain my longing.
Till the next time, I paint my lips red.

I feel like jumping, in your arms.
Into the pools of desire that your eyes are.
Your beautiful, soulful eyes that make me look at myself in the mirror,
A few seconds longer than usual.
I want to jump, at every opportunity life ever awarded me with.
To grab it and seize the best before anyone blinks.
I want to dive, whilst I can,
In a room full of balloons,
Burst a few while I am at it and laugh endlessly at my childish behavior.
But I can't.
I don't want to, anymore.

And here I stand, with a swollen face.
Eyes that have jumped deep into a tear pool before any slumber engulfed them.
Heart that has long forgotten to skip a beat.
Legs that have forgotten to sprint behind friends in a tickle battle.

I stand here, ready to jump.
From the edge of end into the waters of another world.
Will the other world give me what I crave for.
I'll have to jump and see.
