I’ve learned
I don’t want to be loved like the world is ending
Because in that moment
You’d love the Devil himself
If it meant having something to hold on to
And call yours
Because in darkness there is desperation
And in death acceptance
So long as we may say we were loved.
So love me like we will love forever
Though I feel my very life trickling away
Because immortality is a curse in of itself
Where even honey tastes a little less sweet
And water less cooling
Knowing we will have till the end of days
To wander about this Earth like lonely Gods
Because in Forever every moment counts a bit less
And we love knowing it is our lover’s soul we yearn for
And not their warmth in this cold reality of
Now.
So love we like we’ll live forever
Because I no longer wish to be anyone’s life raft
Saving them whilst I sink
Under this very mortality
I live terrified of.
