we'll feed on
our love
till eternity.
now we know,
that the only thing
that keeps us close
is our stupidity.
we'll fight
and we'll make love in the night
and when the time comes,
we'll take flight.
when the time comes
i know all we will ever feel
is the unbearable quiet,
the dreaded silence
and the doleful awkwardness.
however, do know
that when
the time comes,
you will want me
like you want the air
back in your lungs,
instead of the cigarettes.
you should know
that you will yearn
for my attention
like a child.
you should know
that i will love you
until the stars fall,
and all i can see is black and white.
