Love starts as a feeling,But to continue is a choice;And I find myself choosing youMore and more every day.

Like two stars in the depths of the skyThis gravity is just irresistibleWe spin around each other, you and IWhen I fell for you, I fell into your orbit.

Sometimes it feels like even ifEvery inch of my skin was touching yoursI still wouldn’t be close enough to you.

You see flaws in every faceIf you look long enough.That’s why I’m so afraidOf the word ‘forever’. Forever is long enoughFor sunrises to become staleFor fire to become tameFor a favorite songTo become like nailsOn a chalkboard;Forever is long enoughFor passion to waste awayLike grapes into raisinsUnder the beating sunOf countless days.

I came up with a new reasonTo write your name todayI plagiarized each letterFrom a love note you wrote me.The scent of ink was sacred to meIn that relapsed moment…For a minute I could pretendThe paper reminded me of your skin;I could pretend the glimmering inkWas the moonlit lake Of our summer night.But the pretending crumpled with paperAnd I threw us into the trash canFor the bridge between us is long burnedAnd it’s time I accepted that.

Time machine to the pastStep back a few yearsOld feelings, like LazarusSuddenly reappear.It's your song on the radioAnd it's your hand in mineAs this wave crashes over meOur stars again come unaligned.

You brought me to placesI’d have never thought to goTo a trail near the riverWhere the water runs slow;To a mountain where all we heardWas our voices’ echo;You showed me inward beautyThat doesn’t show in photos.

There are seven billion faces smiling in as many waysBut if I don’t see yours, I consider it a wasted day.

I found a night’s sky full of starsIn your cinematic eyesAnd heard a symphonyIn your laughter.
