1.Where have the two of us from yesterday gone?
2.The morning sun shines on two empty shells.
3.Your breath beside me feels like a lullaby,
4.As I finish off a flat can of beer,
5.Trying not to let it show.6.
7.Everyday, every time, everywhere—
8.If we could have stayed right,
9.Maybe we wouldn’t have broken it. But for now…10.
11.Stay with you.
12.I reach out my hand,
13.Even for
14.Your playful breaths.
15.Lighting up the night sky,
16.In the midst of a blink,
17.Until the chromatic dream fades away.18.
19.I knew it from the start—it was never meant to be.
20.I know it, too—that a beginning will never come.
21.If I’m to be swallowed by sorrow,
22.I’d rather stay deceived,
23.Trying not to let it show.24.
25.With this single second, single moment, single chance at your fingertips,
26.Feel an eternal instant, like a fleeting blink.27.
28.Stay with you.
29.Reaching the sound of a heartbeat,
30.Even
31.Your gentle breaths.
32.Lighting up the night sky,
33.In the midst of a blink,
34.Until the chromatic dream fades away.35.
36.The moment I opened my eyes,
37.The moment I spoke the words,
38.It shattered into pieces.
39.Let me keep it closed, don’t cry.
40.Captured in this single second,
41.Single moment—
42.A fleeting blink of eternity, here and now, here and now.43.
44.So,
45.Stay with you.
46.A touch of lips,
47.Even
48.Our overlapping breaths.
49.Lighting up the night sky,
50.In the midst of a blink,
51.Until the chromatic dream fades away.
