And now as we watch the sun burn into the night

You kiss forever into my lips

And I whisper

I’ll forever love you like this

"Time holds you in my arms Sand runs through my eyes As you slip away Burning hands with old flames A love that would last an age"

You laid in a bed that was anyone but yours, and by laid I mean you got laid and by anyone’s bed I mean you slept in the postman’s bed you only wanted to send a message to someone who would no longer open the door And by door I mean the phone feels a lot like a shotgun to the lips when I’m answered by your voicemail “Sorry, I could not take your call” sounds a lot like a hymn and I’m still not over him

I make a home within you because I just want Someone to come home to

Here's to us To the memories I hold of you To the places I can no longer go to To the people who keep dropping by To the meals I left outside your mother's door To the black crowd dressed in regret To the summer we will never get back To the kissed goodbye And wishful lies To you and your brown eyes

Stop healing your wounds with my tongue Stop fucking my bones and calling it love

We once knew love I know this because I would choose a moment with you Than a life time with anyone else

I’m 17 and know jeans are more acceptable than skirts I shouldn’t wear skirts Boys are tempted by skirts Men Are unable to control themselves Around girls in skirts Society told me, when I was 14 That Skirts are a woman’s way of saying yes when she wasn’t awake to say no
