I can hear you breathing
You follow me everywhere I go
Your scent heavy
In the air
Your footsteps
Little shadows
You'll never leave me
You promised
You promised
You promised
Never leave me,
Darling, please
Stay forever,
Stay with me
Your reflection shimmering
Hazily in all my mirrors
You can't leave me
We mixed blood
We drank from the same stream
And climbed the same tree
We rode bikes down the streets
At half-past midnight
We listened to our mothers' calls
But kept running anyway
Faster
And faster
We laid together
We held hands
We sang songs
And danced in circles
And we blew out candles
Hushing the world around us
Beloved!
Forgive me.
