I Wrote This For You

But she closes her eyes, and she pretends with all the strength in her tiny heart that really, she’s the dawn.

All my dreams are beautiful. But none as beautiful as you. You are the reason I return here each morning.

Look at you, like a new tattoo. Because I might not always have you but I’ll have the feeling of you for the rest of my life.

The world made me cold. You made me water. One day we'll be clouds.

All I ask is that you let me spend forever feeling this way, before you take me.

I hold you like I do, tightly because I know that one day, I’ll die. And I am determined to do it with a smile on my face.

The world will carry on without you and me when we’re gone. Let it carry on without us, today.

You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest. Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

Fine. Maybe I’m the puzzle. But you’re still the pieces.

The least you could do, is uncross your heart. Unhope to die.

If you blur your eyes, the streetlights become hundreds of ghosts going home.

It sounds pretty but I disagree. I believe there are moments in your life when you have to dance like everyone is watching.

“This is the one.” The universe assures me from behind the counter. “But I thought you said the last one was the one.” I reply. “No.” Says the universe. “I sold you that one so you would know that this, this is the one.” “Is there another one?” I ask the universe. “I can’t tell you.” They reply. “It’d ruin the surprise.”
