Love You Now
If I go to hell and you go to heaven
Oh I hate the other way 'round
If we're not destined to be together
After the love that we've found
Oh baby in the afterlife
Will we even know what love means
But baby please don't cry
Right now you're right here with me
Our happy poems are in reality sad
One day both of us will be turned into dust
And no one will remember anything we had
There might no longer be us
The fire's fingertips tickle my heart
The pain in our hearts might be loud
'Cause they know that death will do us apart
But you're next to me and I love you now
Our laughs they might be forgotten
Though we promised to never forget
I'd die again if we don't meet in heaven
I'm fine if we meet in hell
I'm staring at you as you're sleeping
And my tears are burning me down
It heals me to hear that you're breathing
And that you don't know I'm crying right now
Oh don't you worry we'll be fine
As long as you're with me
Sometimes it's best of us to lie
So we can breathe properly
Baby, I'm breaking
My systems are slowly shutting down
Can you hear my voice shaking
We live in this moment...
And I love you now

Nephophilia
Poetry'Nephophilia' is the love for clouds. Clouds may seem ordinary for some people, but they aren't ordinary at all for me, and it is obvious for most of my poems have mentions of clouds in them.
