are we really strangers?
I walk down the street and every strangers face turns into yours
I try to sleep and my dreams warp into the soft shape of your body and your hands
Your hands holding mine, fingers intertwined
And I wake up screaming just before I get to hear you say that you love me
Or that you could
I'll turn myself inside out and expose every ugly piece of myself
Lay myself bare in front of you and let you ravish me
Swallow me whole and keep me forever
Can we lay in the water chained together in the worst of storms?
Wait for the lightning to strike and illuminate us with the same electricity that first kiss did
From that first kiss I knew this would end too soon
Let me consume you, build a shrine behind my eyelids
Burn yourself into my brain, make me ill
If I don't have anymore sadness left in me, that means I don't have anymore of you left in me
And I can't live with that
So I stay up listening to your favorite songs and I analyze every single word I hear
I'm living this life like it's my last because it might be
Because my deepest fear is we'll never meet again, that this is our only chance
