Like Atlantis,

we drown never to be found again.

People will not remember us,

instead, they will think we were a myth.

I will be the only one to know

the way we painted each other with magic 

and the way nature bowed to our love

for that she knew it was bigger than her herself.

I will have to carry this memory to my grave

and keep it safe inside my chest.

I will have you living in my veins for as long as I live,

I will keep you breathing with my own lungs,

Even if you're far away.

Even if you were the one to set our temple on fire.
