They Bloom Because of You Quotes

“I tell him he has my heart, always. Even when it departs this place. I tell him in every universe I will always see his face.

“Borrowed Time There’s an arm of light that reaches in and splits the room in two. We’re on borrowed time, my love, here, just me and you. There’s a rocking chair, your sleepy breath, and little kicking feet. Borrowed time, my love, a place the two of us will meet. There’s a hanging moon, heavy with hope, A crib rail etched with scars. It’s fate I get to know your skin, under these tired stars. There’s a tiny hand tracing my face, a clock ticking away. If our moments were a story I would bookmark every page. Tender nights, I’ll think of you, back when you were mine. For we’re on borrowed time, my love, We’re on borrowed time.”

space in your heart.”

You must have heard my call for you Before you were even real. And now we lie together A new familiar gaze. I promise that I’ll never Be the first to look away. I’ve loved you for the longest time Much longer than it seems. Before we even met Because I loved you in my dreams.”
