I'm lying awake in bed, feeling the spot on my chest where you used to rest your head. You see, loves a funny thing, the way it lingers in the back of our minds and no matter what you do or the passing of time, the ember of passion still glows for those lovers behind. No matter if it’s well remembered or not. That light still shines and good times take precedent over every incident. No matter how poorly spent. So we put on these ridiculous fronts, like we were just fooling around. Our love was only childish fun and yet we know different. That it meant something to us and that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved. So we pick up the pieces to try make a half, whole. But in the back of our minds there’s quite a different story to be …show more content…
Words can’t penetrate a tree in the wind. I'm bending and falling faster into the depths. I’m falling, I’m falling. Under such weight, I can barely even catch my breath. Words can’t mend and love does not sink in. Why can’t I see your face? I'm clawing at my chest, trying to find what's left of it, looking for some sort of reprieve. I swear this isn’t the end. But when will I feel comfortable in my own …show more content…
I would have dropped everything. And for those nights when we wept for the moon, I would have died for the spring. I found myself at the roots of the elms, singing songs to the birds and wishing this day would never end. But it did. These dreams came cascading down in a stream of fond memories and lost hope. At the end of it all, there is only a teardrop to remember you by.
A keepsake from the birds, an elegy for what we could have shared. These words will last forever; I'll dream our memories away just to make you feel something for me again. These words will last forever; I'll dream our memories away just to make you hurt. Just to make you feel my pain. There is a warmth from the earth, and the touch of my fingertips are like droplets, making ripples on the surface. I cherish the moment my heart sank to the floor of the ocean. We could have been so much more, we could have laughed, and cried, and dreamed our nights away. So much more, so much more.

At the end of it all is only a teardrop to remember you
