It's far easier

To admit you won't be in my life

Ten years from now

Easier than calculating

How long it would take me to run

Run through your forest of unattainable green

For I live to ruminate upon the very thought

That you are something

That I will not always have

Forcing me to close my eyes

And savor each new kind of wave

That rolls from your kaleidoscopic tongue

Where would I be

If I'd spend the minutes

The minutes that send me to a new brink of sanity

Each minute mulling over the same knowledge

That tells me to let you fly

For you are the wind

Cooling me down

During the heatwave of my life

And gone

Faster than the tint of red on my lips
