Do you think I could have one more kiss?
I'll find closure on your lips
& then I'll go.
Maybe also, one more breakfast,
One more lunch and one more dinner
I'll be full and happy and...
we can part
But in between meals,
maybe we could lay in bed one more time?
One more prolonged moment where
time suspends indefinitely
as I rest my hand on your chest
My hope is that if we add up the
"One more's", they will equal a lifetime.
And I'll never have to get to the part
where I let you go.
But that's not real, is it ?
There are no more "one more's"
I met you when everything was new and exciting,
and the possibilities of the world seemed endless.
And they still are,
for you,
for me,
but not for us.
Somewhere between there and now,
here and there,
I guess we didn't just grow apart,
we grew up.
When something breaks,
If the pieces are large enough,
you can fix it.
Unfortunately, sometimes things don't break
they shatter.
But when you let the light in,
Shattered glass will glitter,
And in those moments,
When the pieces of what we were catch the sun,
I'll remember just how beautiful it was,
just how beautiful it'll always be.
Because it was us.
And we were magic.
Forever.
