edges

i woke up this morning with the shape of you left

on the side of my bed reserved for dreaming

you were turned away so i kissed your neck

before i realized you were running

back to one

and now the clouds are falling in icy puddles around our feet

your lips are cold and then they're crumbling

you say : "i have to stay. i told them i was going to see her tonight"

and i want to cry but i say : "okay" and we fake love until sunrise

too soon i feel you slip away, so i close my drying eyes, release a pent-up sigh

and crawl over to the side of my bed reserved for dreaming

the beginning

lets go back to the beginning

your eyes, familiar / your words, captivating
the snow was falling all around
and you kissed me like they do in the movies

- the ones who were really in love
we danced and fell in each other's arms when the sun shone
and we stayed in to learn the other's features when it rained
we laughed our way to sleep
you sang your soul's secrets and i let you see my shadows
no one had ever seen me like you did
and our whispers ushered in the mornings

but our goodbyes were never meant to be farewells

and if this were a movie, you'd be saying hello

and the more you forgot me, the more i remembered

the very beginning

and how the snow was falling all around
