Trace the constellation on my skin
While I circle around you
Year after year
Tear after tear

If you’re ever lost
They can find you —
bathing in my eyes
They can find you —
drowning in my words

Can you smell the burn?
The burn of separation
Your ashes in my heart

I’m way up — way up
We meet again,
this love hasn’t aged at all
Let me breathe you in for a minute,
for eternity
Sometimes everything hurts,
and I let it

Make me forget, forget my name
Once, twice, four — until we lose count

I hope you remember —
The love in you is bigger,
bigger than all the battles inside you
I hope passion finds you — again
Be loved — the way you love

We march — into the rain
We face — the upcoming storm
Soaked. Shaken.
We are nothing, but feel everything
We are life, making love

Dreamt I held you enough to feel whole again
We — the only reality, worth all realities
Maybe it’s the hope that keep us awake

For now,
We rest our eyes to sleep
For now,
We dwell in the house of our love — forever

We don’t measure love in time,
we measure love in transformation

When you run out of words
When you run out of love
I’ll be here — I’m here, I’m here

For never in my wildest dreams,
have I thought I’d come across all this love — on earth.
