The sound of my heart breaking over and over
when I'm with you is starting to become deafening.
I allow myself to be charmed by your smile
and surrounded by your warmth.
Knowing that someday soon
we will have to say goodbye, is so painful.
There are moments that i forget
we have an expiration date then joy and laughter
fill my lungs beyond capacity.
Then, I remember, and that shortness of breath
makes me feel as if my heart stopped beating.
It makes me realize that no matter how much
I try to steal your heart like a thief in the night,
you are simply trying to tell me goodbye.
I turn to you and fool myself into believing
that I can separate my heart from my head.
Just so that I can catch a glimpse
of your smile at least once more,
before it disappears into a distant memory
of what was once was.
