Desire

I had some really good regrets, and then I picked you...

Can't Have

You should have stayed a stranger to me because now I am starting to hate how close we were.  

Hint

Darkness has become quite the candle these days. 

Worthy

You always picked the best times not to show up...

Mania

They have mistaken your madness for brilliance. 

Doll

Be careful with her; she's a doll.
Hold her gently; she's a doll.
Hold her hand in the sunshine; she's a doll.
Brush her hair daily; she's a doll.
Make sure her bow matches her dress; she's a doll.
Make sure her heels click three times before she walks; she's a doll.
Blush on her cheeks and pink on her lips; she's a doll.
Keep her hidden in your arms during a storm; she's a doll.
Don't let anyone steal her from you; she's a doll.
Always lie close to her when you sleep; she's a doll.
Remember to tell her stories; she's a doll.
Serve her tea at 3:00 in the afternoon; she's a doll.
Do not hurt her; she's a doll.
Know where she is at all times, especially on Thursdays; she's a doll.
Remind her that she has the heart of a child; she's a doll.
Let her be seen; she's a doll.
Tell her your secrets; she's a doll.

Above all, do not allow her to get lost because I am a doll...

Day

I gave in to love, and you gave in to fear.  And I am forever indebted to your doubt...

Obsession

They are putting her on a pedestal, yet when they look away the doll makes the most messy mistakes...

Not Lost

I know what it is like to travel a road a thousand times and then one day, all of a sudden, it has become the most unfamiliar way.  

Drop

Your hands were strong and warm.
Your hands could catch anything.
But your hands could not hold anything delicate or lovely.

Your hands could not hold me...

Overdose

There is no use in being only a little bit addicted, now is there? 

Paternal

The day is coming when you will no longer be here, and all I can do is grow bitter and wasted off of words unsaid...

Pre & Destiny

I do not know what to hope for anymore.
It is all someone else's wish anyway, right?

Darkness

I still feel the weight of everything I have ever lost...

Seat

She will forgive.
And she will forget.

But she will not give you a second chance.

Stall

I need to step away because, right now, I know too much...

Translation

You had the idea, but you never pursued it.  

Lunchtime

I used to think you were the prettiest girl in school, and I wanted deeply to be friends with you.  Yet now, I see you; and you are not the same.  In fact, you are the girl I would not want to sit at my table.    

See

Not only do you listen to me, you understand.  I find this so strange because I do not understand.  I do not understand what you know about me...

Together

I will miss you while we part and hope I will not miss you when we meet again...

Not Yours

That gift was not for you...

Grace

She gives and gives, and then she will give some more. 
You would rather not ask her.  
No, you would much rather wonder. 

Call

I was your second choice.

But didn't they tell you?  I am nobody's second choice...

De-press

You are a subtle ghost yet a demanding mistress.

Given

And I have grown bitter in the worst ways...

Edge

You are sneaking up on me like ice beneath a tire, and it will not be long before I spin out of control...

Risque

I shut that door a long time ago, and it's not fair for you to show up out of nowhere.  There was a time when I would have opened the door to you, but I have changed.  And it would hurt more to be safe with you than to risk it all with him...

Rest

I like the silence with you...

No Figurine

"There is a gift here in this present darkness, but you must have the courage to discover it..."

Frozen Gummi Bears

"I am simply tired of losing everything..."

Off Guard

No one has ever asked me that question before. . .

Sea

I don't really know what to hold on to, so I will hold on to you; and we will sink together. 

Missing

She will think twice before she puts on that red lipstick again.  She only ever did it for you...

Waiting

Don't hold your breath, sweet girl...

Injured

"The thing about you and me is that we are still healing..."

The pain

When will this end?  
When will it all melt away?
When will it loosen its grip?
When will it look away?
When will it shake away from me?
When will it break within me?
When will it steal away?

When will it all end?

Held

"And when we return, we will love again. Yes, my dear, we will love again..."

Break

Winter has a way of tricking her into thinking she is not getting better, yet spring reminds her that she is because spring reminds her that she is better off without you..."

Holes & Steel Plates

Why is it so hard to travel this road...

On Time

You always cancelled our plans.
You were always late.
You never showed up sometimes.

So, why now?

Meet

Just a few more steps and we will be walking together... 

Constant

"Your love never changes..."  

Who

It is as though I have known you forever, yet I know so little about you...

Months & Months

This past year was like meeting a stranger who is more familiar to me than the people I have known all of my life.  And that is all I can say right now because I am still figuring it out.  

I will always be figuring it out. . .

Found

I can rest in your presence, and I like it. 

RAS

"You don't have to do this alone..."

Multiply

I can only give what I can, but you, you can give so much more.

You

What we miss says a lot about us.

I miss a lot of things that are not worth missing...

52

I can't break down every wall you have built between us, but I will sit with you in your silence.  Then the healing will begin...

36

I won't pretend that I can heal you, but I can listen.  And I think your heart is ready to speak...

Now

Sometimes it takes forgetting to remember...

Crutches

Where did you get your strength, young heart?
You have already conquered so much at such a young age.

Woodlands

You've been walking alone for quite some time now. 

Take my hand.  Maybe we could walk together, maybe we could discover together.  The road before us awaits...

Eyes That Know Me

I am so wildly obsessed with the Truth to the point that I can not even bring myself to tell it.  So, why do you draw out such honest confessions from me?  

You're golden, and you don't even know it. 

Arms

Remember those secrets you told me to keep?  

I have kept them.  
When you want them back, let me know.
They are yours and yours alone.  

Spill

I did not know how to say the many things I wanted to say to you on that day, but now I do.  Now I know...

Wonderwall

Remember that song I told you made me think of you?  
I heard it yesterday, and I did not think of you.

I just thought you should know.  

When December Came Around

Your kiss and the winter chill have something in common...

...they both sneak up on me and leave me breathless for all the wrong reasons.

Prune

You were the wonder that I wanted.
You were the kiss that I craved.
You were the one that I needed.

And I think the irony of it all is that you helped and hurt me at the same time...

Break-Up

Is there a reward for those of us who make it through an anniversary with you? 
I guess I shouldn't call it an anniversary.  

You don't exactly celebrate heartache...

Repetitive

One, Two...I'm over you.
Three, Four...Shut the door.
Five, Six...Empty hearts and stomach-punch kicks
Seven, Eight...You stayed over way too late.
Nine, Ten...We begin the cycle again.

Glass

I am quite obsessed with the glow that shines behind your eyes.  I can sense this glow only burns at certain times in your life, and I am forever convinced I must find out what causes this glow.

The Cape

"And here I am like the sand..."

Direction

It is not the same with you, and I like that.
It should never be the same.

Speak

For once, I am used to you listening...

Glass

It is so easy to get lost in your eyes. . .

Nomad

I do not know why I am afraid to call this place home. . .

Playground

Today you were the kid on the slide.
And I was the kid outside of the gate.
I was the one who couldn't get in.

It's not that I wasn't allowed to go in--I just couldn't.
And now I know how many of us really want to be the child playing on the playground.

Keeper

I know everything you don't want me to.
Your eyes can't keep secrets like your lips do.

Twigs

Do not follow me when these winter days come. 

Just look for the campfire smoke above the trees.
Then you will know that I am okay. 

Clover

I like the sound of your laugh.
It is free and wild.

I used to be free and wild...

Before You Go

You are leaving me pieces--pieces of who I think you are; pieces of who I thought you were.  Yet you are hiding some of the last pieces.

Why are you hiding the last pieces? 

You

Do not hold my hand too tight. 
Do not drop my hand without telling me. 

The last time it was held, it was squeezed and let go at the same time.

Hidden

She is rather lovely, isn't she?
She is rather beautiful, isn't she?
She is rather intriguing, isn't she?

And you will spend your whole life figuring her out.  She is a mystery to all, yet she is allowing you to discover this mystery firsthand.  Don't let her pass you by...

Once

You are calm.

You are unexpected.

You are surprised.

And I am, too. How did we get here?

Legacy

I can only hope that the love I leave behind will be enough to start a fire...

Spark

Is it natural for a fire to burn this bright so quickly? 

Found

She found some time to write again.  
She found some time to love again.

She also found that when these times come, the pain comes with them.

Leaving

"You will be leaving in the morning.
The morning is going to come all too soon." 

Faith

You are so very sure of things that I am not yet sure of. 

Great

I think this break is great.
I think this distance is great.
I think this time apart is great.

I think about you, and it is not so great.

Hard

...this is what it is like without any guidance.

Nothing

All I have done is forgotten you...

Just Maybe

Maybe there is a peace deeper than the pain.
Maybe there is a love stronger than the fear.

Maybe there is another road to travel than the one we have been on this whole time...

For

I woke up without thinking of you this morning.

But it is well into the night, and I can't let you go...

No Words

Lies are the lipstick on your teeth.
Lies are the hidden shoes beneath your bed.
Lies are your hands behind your back before you speak.
Lies are your hair before you brush it to make it presentable.
Lies are in the backseat of his car.
Lies are in the first shot she takes at the bar.
Lies are the Christmas present he gave her seven years ago.
Lies are the crumbs beneath the table at Thanksgiving dinner.

Lies are...

We All Do

Do you know what it is like to have each chair in the room be full except for the one next to you?

Here

Here we will wait.
Here we will go strong.
Here we will be protected.

Here is where we begin...

Brave

The world so desperately needs to hear what you have to say.  So, when it comes time for you to say it, do not be afraid.

Over

I got tired of playing by the rules...

Tired

I got tired of having one-sided conversations.
I got tired of your yawns.
I got tired of being the one who always took initiative.
I got tired of being the one to walk up to the other.
I got tired of futile attempts at getting to know you.
I got tired of sitting on the other side of the table from you.
I got tired of walking with you.
I got tired of you being a decent human being.
I got tired of you sitting on the fence.

I wish all of this were true because I am tired of lying to myself.  

Feet

This innocence about you is comforting.  

Your innocence reminds me of someone I used to be.  
This is also why your innocence scares me. 

It's you.

It's not you.  It's me.

It's not me.   It's you.

It's not you.  It's me.

It's not me.   It's you.

It's not you.  It's me.

It's not me.  It's you.

Us

To almost reach the finish line means that you left something undone.  It means you did not finish the race.

Did we finish the race?

Revealed

There is so much peace in this place.

There is so much to look forward to.

There is so much to hope for.

But all I want to do is run away...

You & Me... Him & I...

I am starting to see why you did what you did because I am so close to doing what you did to me, to him.

Beat

I guess I misheard the lines you were saying.
I guess I didn't know the notes you were playing.


But I fell for you.
I fell for you.  

Lavender

The thing about Lavender is that everyone loves her.  She is unique and so very special.  She is almost magical, if there ever were a thing.  You've heard of people who light up rooms, but Lavender puts those fireworks to shame.  She will stop you in your tracks, and she'll make you think twice.  You'll question your motives, and you'll find that you have more questions than answers when you're around her.  These questions escape your mind when you're around her because you can hardly focus, and you don't know what to say at times.  But there is also something else about Lavender... 

What is it?  What is it about her that draws you so close?

Change

She comes and goes in the evening.
She rises late these days.
She is seeing patterns.
She is forgetting the days.
She is in a foreign land and a new season.

She is here...

Prepare

I can hear you.
I hear everything You say.

Though I sense You have not yet told me what You really want me to hear...

He

I think you are rather lovely.
I think you are rather kind, more than most.
I think you are quite shy.
I think you don't know what to say sometimes and that makes you uncomfortable.
I think you are polite.
I think you are more than qualified.
I think you are a hidden treasure.
I think you like to be hidden.
I think you speak through your music.
I think you say more through your music than you do during the day.
I think you are waiting for someone to hear what you are saying.

I hear you.

Night Pains

Last night she was free of the pain.  It took a break and took up home in another heart.  But that heart could not house and nurture the cry...

So, the pain has returned.

Our

I think I will sit awhile on our rock and remember how we used to be.  I do not know why I am obsessed with what was, but they say relapse is apart of recovery.  Each time I relapse, I am not wanting something I have had before. 

But, for tonight, I will remember how we used to be.

Tumbling Down

The lie your lips spoke is not the same one your eyes told.

Sub*Ject

I wonder what it is like to create a world, and in the middle of creating it, one of the characters makes a decision that changes that world forever. 

I wonder how the Creator feels about that...

Tie It Up

I wish I was more like you.
You're awfully elegant and the brightest shade of blue.

Months

I could tell within five seconds of talking to you that you had missed me, and I knew you wanted to see me again.  But we are over, and there is no future for us.

There is no future for us...

Heavy

I am hurting, but not all of this pain is my own.

Is That Her?

I didn't ask because I knew it would show in my voice how much I am starting to care for you.
And I knew it would show in my voice how much I don't want you to know this...

Good Time

And just like that, with the close of a door, with the switch of a light, with the skip of a single step, we are over. 

EMCEE

There's something you're not telling me...

River Boat

At the end of the day, it will be nice to get away.  At least I know I will be with you. 

Here and There

I am ridiculous.I am impulsive.
I am nonsense.

And you, you are none of these.
No, you are stronger.
You are so much stronger than me.

Love

I happen in the most unfortunate ways sometimes.

Break-Up

My biggest fear is that this is going to get messy again, messier than before.  But you won't mind, you won't mind at all.

Why don't you mind?

Unit

I am not sure I can carry this weight anymore, so I am going to give it away.  
Their pain is overwhelming at times, especially in the evening. 
His heart is overwhelming, especially when it races like this.

Finale

I would rather be apart of the end of something than the beginning.

Switch

Now you know what it is like to have one of your own turn on you.

Politics

We have a very public relationship.
Something tells me it is about to become very private. 

Leader

If there were any power in losing your life, you would be the one to find it. 

Unfelt

This obsession has come upon me at an odd time.
This obsession came upon me when I met you. . .

Contrary

Your darkness is beautiful.
Your darkness is light to me.
Your darkness is of another kind.
Your darkness does not scare me.
Your darkness has captivated me.


This darkness, your darkness, is rather peaceful. . .

Run

I don't know if I'm missing you, or if I am mourning the person you have allowed yourself to become.  

Reconcile

These flowers are for you, but your tears will not be for me. 
No, they will be for someone else. 

End

In the end, all of the pieces fit, and the mystery is solved.
But it is not the end right now.

Purpose

In the weirdest way, we are supposed to be here. 

Home

You always tell me that you feel safe in my arms, and you are.
You are safe in my arms.

Disabled

I know what it is like to live my whole life with a dream and to wake up one day without it.


You are never the same after that day. . .

This

Being numb and incredibly sensitive at the same time is not something I requested. . .

That They May Know

In the end, I am willing to risk my stature, my status, my standing for You.
The end is nigh. . .

Floor & Heels

I think you are so beautiful when you dance, especially when you dance far away from me...

Front

Do not believe me when I say that was not a connection we had last night at the pizza parlor sitting at the booth in the back.  I usually only make connections with people when I sit at the booth in the front because it's closer to the door and easier to run away from. 

But last night I learned that I do not have to run away from every person I make a deep connection with...

On Mondays

I do not like when the afternoon turns to evening because that is the only time when I am without you.  There are certain hours when you are stolen away from me.  When those times come, all I want to do is steal you back. 

Taken

I wonder what it is like to hold such a pretty face in my hands.Maybe the next time we are together, you could tell me. 

Holy

I do not know what I am about to discover, but I think I am about to find You in one of the darkest places...

Red

You put a stain on my favorite white shirt, and now I can never forget you.

Door Close

I walked away because there is more at stake than you think...

There You Were

I don't know if I'm more disappointed that you are not different than everybody else or that I am just the same as you.

70

After the 70th year, she was over her fear of being loved.  After 3,640 weeks, she was able to trust that he would not leave her.  After 25,550 days, she allowed herself to let go of all she had ever known. 

Do not let fear make you wait until your 70th year. 

Here

There is no equation or formula.
There is only forgiveness.

Two

...maybe she enjoys being no one and someone at the same time.

We do...

We have been taught to need no one, yet we want someone.Is this the answer or is this the question?   

If it is the answer, then it is the wrong answer.  If it is the question, then the answer is that we need and want someone in the most natural way that it is quite scary.

Hug & Hold

It will be a warm welcome, but I do not know how long you will stay.

Continue

Right and wrong will always change, but Your love lasts forever.

Me & You

I think when we are done and through, we will see what we should have done.

Throughout

I do not think it is wrong, and that is where I am starting. . .

No Light

I left it alone because trying to resurrect what happened between us is like asking the sun to set twice. . .

Public

I am aware of the cameras in my face, but I am even more aware of the eyes behind the camera.

Petty

I have other things to care about than my name in the newspaper.

Life

It is always going to be messy; and the sooner we accept it, the sooner we can begin to live.

Run

I started off far away from you, but I will end in your arms.

You

I met you a while ago, but I am just now getting to know you.I didn't want to see you at first, and now I can't wait to see you the next time.

I feel as though there has been a treasure stored up for me, and I am just now discovering it.

Break

Give yourself some time to heal.

End

Who knew a good-bye kiss would have this much pull?

Living

. . .because I am still alive.

New Shoes

It is time to walk in a new light.

Past You

"Will it always be this hard?
When will the pain stop?"

Today

Today stopped me and asked me about you.
Today I broke down.
Today I was weaker than usual.
Today I was the last one to cross the finish line.

Do you know what it's like to be the last one to cross the finish line?

Text

The days come without fail, and with them, they bring the pain your hands promised to my heart when you left me...

Walk

I do not know how you go one day without thinking of me.
I do not know how you are able to move past this.
I do not know how you escaped free of so much pain.
I do not know how you live without this aching regret.
I do not know how you can say such words.

Could

You remembered my name.
You remembered my face.
You remembered my words.
You remembered my hands.
You remembered my hope.
You remembered my confidence.
You remembered my faith.
You remembered my body.
You remembered my dress.
You remembered my shoes.
You remembered so much about me...
...yet you forgot my worth.

Worthy

You covered me in rose petals.
You covered me in pet names.
You covered me in wet kisses.
You covered me in warm cuddles.
You covered me in high praises.
You covered me in gold.

You covered me in valuables that only this Earth can hold.  You forgot that I was not made for this place; therefore, your riches are no match for what I deserve.

Sober

Your kiss was the last drink I had.
I have been sober for seven months.


And I have felt every day of it...

When You Will

The night is coming when you will take off your wig and lipstick.
The night is coming when you will rub away the blush and dried mascara.
The night is coming when you will rip the hem of your dress in anger.
The night is coming when you will peel off your fake nails.
The night is coming when you will speak his name for the last time.
The night is coming when you will see his face for the last time.
The night is coming when you will break your heel again.


The night is coming...

Morning Glory

And when we rise, we will soar on the wings of eagles...

That Time

It is a blur and a close memory at the same time.  
Funny, is it not?

Mic

I will not raise my hands nor cross my arms.
I will not turn away nor walk out.
I will not run nor will I hide.
I will walk forthright and not be afraid...

Happily Ever After

Once upon a time, I fell apart, and I have never really recovered.

Skeptic

I can not deny You.

Freedom

I know what it's like to be afraid.
But I also know what it's like to want to live in love more than being afraid. 

Faith

I do not know what the rest of this staircase looks like, but I know I want to take the first step.

Voice

This is the point where reality meets the intangible...

The Sound Inside of Me

I do not know where that came from, but it is giving me a confidence that can not be shaken.

Garden

Remember when we used to laugh and play?


I wish we could do that today.
We used to laugh and play.  

The Cake That Was Built

I am finally letting go of what I thought we would be...
...finally.

Cross-Examination

You got scared and gave up.
I've forgiven you, yet the pain is still very present, very real.

I wish that forgiveness would take the pain away. 

Jolt

You're like the morning schoolbell; you startle me and remind me that I am supposed to be somewhere.

True & Just

You are chasing me.
You are pursuing the things of my heart.

Forgive me for I am not used to this.

Traces

There are no more traces of you in my heart or on my lips.
I will not speak your name nor kiss your lips again. 

I like...

I like when the air between our lips is filled with passion.
I like when the eyes between your nose are gazed upon mine.
I like when the space between us is close.
I like when the distance between is non-existant.
I like when the clothes between us are on the floor.
I like when the hand between my legs is yours.
I like when the looks between us are understood.
I like when the time between us is spent together.
I like when the music between us dances slowly.
I like when the laughs between us will be remembered .
I like when the silence between us means more than words could say.

Gourmet

I really wish you would give up this loneliness...

...especially when your soul is the other half of mine.

The Breath After

I hope that today is better for you.
I know the pain has taken its toll.
I know the worst of this war has passed.

It's always a fatal war when you wrestle with your heart...

It All Changed

Last night, a few stars fell to the earth...

The Difference

The difference between you and me is that you gave up.

River

I wonder what it is like to always know where you are going.

Memory

Sometimes, I forget the pain.
No, that is not right.

A lot of times, I forget the pain, yet it is always there.

High

Don't expect me to love you after all you have put me through.

These words

"I don't know."

It takes more courage than you will ever know to say those words.

Distance

If this is about trusting You, then I am at the bottom of the barrel. 
And it may take the rest of my life to reach the top.

Sight

...and the third time we're together, I will have to make a very important decision.  Because the third time is a charm that is yet to be added to the bracelet you are making me.  I hope you're still making that bracelet for me.  

Welts

I can not tell you the pain I am swimming in right now, and I am thinking of letting go of this life jacket that was given to me by the gracious Captain.

Now

I know that everything is going to change.
I am not afraid.

Tense

I am starting to think I will not find what I am looking for...

Wild

You're like a field fenced in by a worn-down barbed wire fence.
I don't know my boundaries when I'm with you.

UnKnown

Your favorite color was blue when you were seven.

Your favorite color is now green.
Your first hangover was spent all morning in my bedroom.
And I promised not to tell your mom. 

She has a lot of questions...a lot of questions that your cold face in a coffin just can not answer.

Sleeper

I can forgive you for waking me up while I am taking a nap.
Yet I can not forgive your for waking me up while I am dreaming.

Uncertainty

The irony of the situation is that the very hands that made your heart also broke it...

Tripp

The stones in the building on 8th Street are a lot like your heart--hollow, empty with weight, and designed to break apart.  You are designed to break apart. 

Why won't you just follow through?

Fall

I don't like knowing you're down the road skipping rocks in the pond while I'm doing the same thing on the other side of the pond.

The End

And maybe this is it...

Uncertain

I often wonder why I am the one who has been left haunted and in pain over all of this...

Ache

"I think it hurt because it mattered.  And I think it hurt because I lost a piece of me..."

Secret

One day you will find that being human is not your weakness but rather your strength.

NightBeats

If it's 2 a.m., and if it's spring 2006, then I'm out for a walk to clear my thoughts on the streets of Los Angeles. I'm walking with angels, I swear--that is until you come chasing after me. You always felt like you had to protect me, so you'd ride your bicycle behind me following me and telling me that it's not safe and that I shouldn't be out this late by myself.

All the while I was telling you that I'm not safe, and you shouldn't be out this late alone with me.

Best For You

I'm not the type to walk over.
Because you'll trip, you'll fall, and you'll be done.
 
Just ask all the flames that have burned before you.

Prayer

I've asked you a thousand times to take away this pain. . .

Night

I think the sun will shine again.

It's just taking it's time.

She's never lost a thing in her life.

June was named not for the month in which she was born but because she came a little too early. By the time she was twenty-three, she had more money than Albert Einstein had genius. Her success isn't measured by plaques on the wall, and her failures aren't scored by the rejection she has faced. She drops little hints here and there about how she'd like to meet her biological father; she's heard his name was Jimmy. But her stepfather has always told her that Jimmy left because June came too early. If she had held out for one more day, he'd still be around.

Nothing is ever understood, and lies are told only to later reveal the truth we all know but can't comprehend. There is an amazing distance between two people that are as close as you and I.  I can only wonder if I came into your life too early... 

Knowing Better

"Maybe it's time you believed in love again..."

Black Boots

Forgive me for running. 
I was not scared. I was not afraid.


I just knew you were starting to feel what I've felt all along...

Cold Night

Sometimes our addictions get the best of us...

An Evening in August

Did your soul forget the promises your body made that night?

Relapse

"I thought I was stronger..."

Before It Sets

Remember to kiss the sun before it sets, and remember to wish on three stars before bed.
Remember to tell the sun "Good Morning", and remember to take your pills before breakfast.
Remember to pack an apple for lunch, and remember to drink juice at brunch.
Remember the five dollars in your pocket, and remember the wine in the trunk.
Remember your coffee break at two, and remember your heels in the back seat.
Remember your yoga class at four, and remember to close the door.
Remember to wear your white dress to dinner, and remember to sip slowly.
Remember to mind your manners, and remember to ask questions.
Remember to make eye contact, and remember to hold hands.
Remember to make it home early, and remember to kiss the sun before it sets.

Tomorrow

"I know that you are at peace far away from here, but there are still things I am struggling with..."

Not Today

"...And when you are strong enough, we will walk through the valley."

Loss

Tell me when the sun sets.
I need to know when to expect the darkness.

Hold

Moments do not last forever.
I would know because you are not here anymore.
