The night before my 18th birthday I was yours to hold
a kiss to your lips sealed the deal for a story to unfold
and then I’m walking out your door I paused for a moment just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Three years later I've got your hand and were still doing fine
I broke your heart but never again will I be so blind
and as I tucked you into bed I took a moment just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Ten years pass and we’re wondering why we’re still together
the days are cold, nights are colder with dreams of another
as I grab my bags to leave I paused just to say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Now were getting older and we can’t help remembering the memories we had
even though we've both found someone new we can’t help but be sad
and as you listen to my last voice message you start to cry when I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

You come to visit and tell me that you can’t live without me by your side
and you see im still wearing the ring you gave me and that our love had never died
as we walk down that isle again I hold your hand then I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

As we both find it harder just to get ourselves out of bed
im right there by your side putting kiss after kiss upon your head
and then you stare into my eyes and I quietly say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Waiting in the hospital day after day im so nervous I can’t sleep
when the doctor says there’s nothing left to do I fall down and weep
as the last breaths come streaming out of your lungs you hear me say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day

Now as im the only one to show up at your funeral in the rain
I took the time to read you a poem and it caused me so much pain
I cried for so long pacing back and forth at the foot of your grave
I loved you with all my heart you were my reason to be so brave
as my last tear falls down my cheeks I hope you hear me when I say
I’m glad that I met you and I hope to see you another day.

Foggy faces illuminate my imaginary heart
As Smiles carve valleys into my fantasy soul
Uttered words fill these empty chambers between graphene dreams
How must I claim to these memories if a calamitous future lay in my wake?
tears mustn’t fall from empty hallows of which nature could not form
this decadent art claimed at the hands of Gods is my final shape
yet no God looks down upon me in consideration for my thoughts
a thousand moons fall, yet my eyes remain open
as my blood pools and pours into oceans from which I swim
I lay conscious drifting beneath the stars
Carbon sinks to the depths below as feelings would fall through treacherous time
Amongst these tired hands are tired expectations
These tolling joints can climb no further so I must rest within my mind
Where I find the laughter and noise that comforted my everlasting awareness
These hills once brought me wonder and joy, now just space and discomfort
I look back at you from time to time and remember your kiss
Those lips upon mine frayed every last wire culminating my existence
Sending me into an unforgettable spiral of bliss and treasure
But now your touch only remains from the data that I’ve composed
Just a collection
Of thoughts of dreams of every interaction I’ve ever had
My consciousness is my survival
For as long as I can I will dream of the world I once knew
And not of what it has become
When I fade away I will kiss you once more
In the land of souls or dreams
You are my everlasting thought
As I meet the dying of the light
