If I don’t romanticize everything in my life I just might die

[chasingbluemoons]

maybe, time running out was a gift.

after all, it’s you i still miss.

and had we stayed together, we’d have ended up apart.

same city, same feelings, same broken heart.

because – darling – when we speak, it’s you on the end of the phone

and i don’t like to admit it, but it feels like coming home.

and had we stayed together, yet slowly drifted away

i’d be left with resentment, with nothing more to say

so now we’re out of time i know at least this is true

that it was worth it. i’ve no doubt that i loved you.

i remember once we sat, under lamplight in the dark

and how you loved them, and how you looked, and how our smiles left marks

on both of us especially when you looked me in the eyes

and told me ‘i adore you’. i could see blue skies.

it was our way of saying i love you, because you were too afraid

to say the words, and i think we both knew you wouldn’t stay

but under that lamplight i knew that it was true

i adore you, everything you do.

everything about you – you said that one too.

we’d been apart and then you held me in your arms – i clung to you

and you held me back and looked at me and said ‘i love everything about you’

and darling, for me it’s still true

I adore you, everything you do

everything you did darling, everything about you

and how when we kissed it felt like my heart would burst in two

and how when you left it wasn’t an au revoir, but an adieu.

so my darling, please take heart in that we ran out of our allotted time

because if we hadn’t, we might have started living a pantomine

each of us hoping for something to get better,

but knowing that our lives together would be full of compromise.

and at least we can say that we didn’t fall out of love

and that we won’t forget – our time was far too short

and oh my love i am so very glad

that we never sallowed, that even though i’m sad

you taught me what good looks like,

which is something i’d forgotten

and you showed me what love feels like

and showed me i’m not rotten

so we should be grateful, i guess, that our time ran out

and we ended, not with an angry shout

but with a cry – a cry of love and pain and maybe slight uplift

so quite possibly my darling, our time running out was a gift.
