This Is What They Mean When They Say Forever

Your voice was hanging on the wind
With a whisper on my skin
You told me to kiss you and I did
That's when it started again
Cool air finds its way up my shirt
Intertwined with your hand
On the small of my back
We go for a walk, city lights-blinding
But I can't take my eyes off you
So I knew what to do
I let myself find a little crush on you- like the first time
One last night & one more day
To say everything we've wanted to say
In the last two years
I watch you sleep and I wonder what life would be
If you chose me, back in the very beginning
You watch me sleep and you wonder what life would be
If I chose you, back in the very beginning
It's now morning at the beach, did you
Just wrap your arms around me, kiss my cheek?
I couldn't help but think there's no where else I'd rather be
Dreams can't just be for.. We'll wait and see
Dinner before goodbye-
One last kiss to settle my eyes
Hold back the tears & let my heart fly
For the first time in years
What. Have. We.. Gotten ourselves into here?
Hours to drive home. Days to pass slowly.
Weeks to fly by until suddenly you're with me
For the fourth time this year
Phone calls and video have kept us close
But here you are, eyes on me
Hands in hair, your lips find mine
I give thanks to everything you give to me
Every glance and smirk you send my way
The way you smile at me
Like I'm the brightest sun you've ever seen
You can't look away.. No
I can't look away either
Staring like the ocean, waiting every night for the sun to rise again
So we did the unthinkable-
I fell in.. Love with you
& you fell in love with me
That would be- How everything fell apart
It's too hard to love who you can't see
It's too hard trust who you can't be with
Isn't that what you said?
You long to sleep next to me, feel me breathe
Kiss me in my dreams
You made me fall for you
You did, you made me fall
You needed me
Needed me to say it too
So you wouldn't need me anymore
And left here, I still do

Now I'm waiting on a letter I'll never see
Waiting on a call I'll never get
Waiting for the words I'll never hear from you
Part of me, says I'm pathetic
It couldn't be worth it
What would I know about love like this
And then all the little pieces, strewn across the floor
Scream at me in whispers
Who could know better?
This is what they call,
Heartbroken
