Y o u .

We draw near. Our lips touch, 
A first kiss, a first among many firsts. 
But now you leave me a path with no where, to go.
My arms stretched outward to the trees.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
The terror of how easy it is to lose-
Something beautiful, something true.
My life now infinitely broken by all the farewells. 
And still after every beat, I feel you.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
However our partings may have come about-
I’ll always remember the forevers I once had.
I want everything you have.
But I want you to know.

Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.

You taught me that love endures only-
If it continually changes itself.
Achieved only through the bliss of arrival, 
but there is no arrival without departure.

Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.

You come out within my darkness, and bring the light.
You keep me running and thinking in safe circles.
You used to see things and say why. 
Now I dream things that never were, and I say why not.

Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.

You, make all things oh so right.
You, something special. The voice of an angel.
You, nothing short of brilliance.
You, the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
Can this be forever? Or maybe just tonight.
