You drank and smoked,
while I was looking at the stars.
You said I was pretty,
in the silence between us.

I smiled slightly and just looked at you.
Now I see how you're growing old unnoticed,
and I am still blooming for you,
but I continue to give my love to you.

You gave me everything you could,
and now you're dying in my arms.
This is why I cry at night —
I don't know what to do.

The nights are heavy with memories,
your breath a whisper on my skin.
I trace your face with trembling fingers,
afraid to let the morning in.

And though your light is fading slow,
I bloom, I burn, I break for you.
And still I choose to love —
even as I lose you.
­
You said it was a crime,
But I don′t think like you.
You′re afraid of being punished,
But I′m afraid of losing my love.

You have a desire,
That burns like a flame,
While I chase the shadows,
And whisper your name.

In the silence between us,
Our hearts start to race,
Caught in a dance,
In this delicate space.

You fear the consequences,
The weight of the past,
But I’m willing to gamble,
For a love that could last.

So let’s break the chains,
And rewrite the rules,
In a world full of judgment,
We’ll be the brave fools.

Together we’ll rise,
With our hearts intertwined,
For love knows no boundaries,
And freedom we’ll find.
