Love is just two people
Plastering perfect masks
On each others’ faces;
And it only lasts
Until the masks crack
And the fantasy ends.

Let us love like the spark
Between flint and stone
In reckless abandonment,
Promising no eternities,
But promising only to seek out
Upon each day’s sunrise
Something to choose to love
In each other.

Like two stars in the depths of the sky
This gravity is just irresistible
We spin around each other, you and I
When I fell for you, I fell into your orbit.

Love starts as a feeling,
But to continue is a choice;
And I find myself choosing you
More and more every day.

There are seven billion faces smiling in as many ways
But if I don’t see yours, I consider it a wasted day.

You see flaws in every face
If you look long enough.

That’s why I’m so afraid
Of the word ‘forever’.

Forever is long enough
For sunrises to become stale
For fire to become tame
For a favorite song
To become like nails
On a chalkboard;

Forever is long enough
For passion to waste away
Like grapes into raisins
Under the beating sun
Of countless days.
