The weeping starts when you realise
That everyone you love dies
Sooner or later
So the question isn’t whether you should date her
It’s do you cherish her now
Coz that’s the only moment fate will allow
You to be sure of
He fit me like a glove
But I could see sunset in his eyes
And it was a thinly veiled disguise
As his broken need met my solemn stare
And I swore I would be there
For him through thick and thin
Even if I’m only working from within
And the chains come to whip my skin
And not in a good way like his predilection 
In a way that separates souls
And crashes waves against the shore as they roll
Knowing all of us will be shattered by life
Obliterated beyond the husband and wife 
We sought to be
And I always saw you down on one knee
But I also saw you crucified
And if I said I didn’t love you, well, I lied
Coz I can’t bear the departure 
That comes with every gate you open to your heart, your
Spirit
And I don’t know if you can hear it
But I whisper your name every night
Before sleep takes me in the twilight
And your brutal assault
Closed the doors of my vault
But they open when you’re not looking
So I can watch every flight that you’re booking
To foreign lands
And I still remember the feel of your hands 
As they brushed against mine
Showing me something I’ll remember for all time
Even if you forget
A secret handshake that unlocks me yet
