How Lovely We Were

Slow dancing, tears falling Questioning if this is finally our calling Do we skip a beat, or continue to dance in harmony? Love, I don’t need your sympathy Romance isn’t meant to be simply put But if this was half hearted, say it should Another hand slipping, there’s no return Oh, how lovely we were Oceans in my eyes it seems Only puddles in your greens Maybe we were destined to lose from the start My vision was blurred by all the stars My fingers reaching for yours truly Oh, but if you had only saw us blooming Surely you’d still be in love too But I’m loosely keeping hold of the ghost of you Remind me before you go Did I make you nervous, or was your pulse slow? Swinging endlessly to the sound of our heartbeats We cherish until death do us part And mend even with broken hearts Our story is told and ended at this Could you recite it? Each longing moment, every breath Here we are, left to rest Too scared to place my feet Where our souls meet It fades into lingering scents Where your head was placed upon my chest If only you needed me still Silence speaks loud, but if you will Speak louder quietly Losing our existence, losing grip of reality Please, love, promise you’ll remember me
