No Improbable Romance

Well I can’t figure it out,
How everything changed.
Was it just my perception?
Did I somehow become displaced?
The last beautiful thing to remember,
Is how we danced in the rain.
Our bodies were so close together,
There were never any worries of pain.
Now the moisture is in the eye,
Then there’s that pain in the chest.
Slowly being torn apart,
Tell me isn’t there anything left.

This was no improbable romance to me.
The past returns and haunts me in my dreams.
I look out the window only to find all those empty streets.
As I walk them my heart seems slower to the beat.
When we were together you gave me all the strength to believe.
With you gone my heart left exposed as it quickly bleeds.

Time passes by so slowly,
The light has seemed to grow dim.
This lump in my throat makes me feel like I’m choking,
Into this sea of pain that I’m swimming in.
Eventually with some time and love from others I’ll begin healing.
Yet I know it’s just your love I want.
I never imagined you would ever be a memory,
Left in my mind to painfully haunt.
I tell you I have never in my life felt so tired,
Honestly though I know that I won’t sleep. 
I hear the seconds ticking by so slowly,
Then there’s my heart here left slower to the beat.

This was no improbable romance to me.
The past returns and haunts me in my dreams.
I look out the window only to find all those empty streets.
As I walk them my heart seems slower to the beat.
When we were together you gave me all the strength to believe.
With you gone my heart left exposed as it quickly bleeds.

No I never thought this to be an improbable romance for me...
