Exist longer for me, my love
The days feel lighter with you in them
And the sun shines brighter with you beneath it
Let me hear your laughter echo in the empty halls of my mind
Hold my hand, and don’t let go until this Earth burns to the ground
Exist longer for me, I beg you
Let me look at you one last time
Remember your smile before it fades away
Look at your eyes before they stray
And touch your skin before it turns cold and blue
Exist longer, my love
Exist between my arms
And let me heal this abandoned life
Exist until the sun stops rising
Until my heart stops beating
Exist longer for me
Rough fingertips and thick lips
Narrow eyes with skinny hips
Light stubble and a gentle kiss
Does he even know that he takes me to bliss?
Each detail
Each move his hips make
Each word his lips say
How can he exist so effortlessly?
Yet so painfully...
And he tells me that his days are numbered
I beg him to stop counting
The air in his lungs is about to evaporate
And his eyes need to rest
So, he sleeps on my lap
And tells me to wake him up when the sun rises
And the sun never rises again
