Chronicles of a Love Lost

Winter solstice, shaky hands and cold fingers of mine,
million mistakes, you held my hand, to leave me again,
afraid of the dark, afraid of my own heart,
my stars are never aligned to get things right the first time,
Should've known ours can never be next to each other.
Limitless, as they named me,
pouring, as you've always called me,
but when you left, I felt like there was nothing left for me.
I loved to write, and you used to sing,
Its been a very long time,
I still don't know what's sweeter than your lies,
I repose in time, I realize your presence is just in my mind.
you came back, I let you in, I'll do that again,
Its been a very long time,
symphony of your songs still rhymes with the love that didn't survive.
May our destinies remain separate for as long as we live,
yet we must never separate from one another's life.
magical summer, I've loved it my whole life,
million mistakes, wrap me in uncertainties, wrap me in your lies,
I know you care when I am around, do I my absence just as sound?
Sometimes, I feel so anxious, for they think I am missing home,
for the one, I think I've never known.
Touch and run, you said we'll never become of my parent's kind,
but when we fought, I felt you touching my deepest prejudice.
I still write, and you still sing,
Its been a very long time,
I still don't know why you stayed when I couldn't smile,
you cared for me, you saved me from dying.
its been a very long time,
symphony of your songs still rhymes with the love that didn't survive.
may we keep falling in and out of love until we die,
but never again with each other in this lifetime.
