I sometimes feel like the days are bleeding into one another
Like when I try to breathe all I really inhale is smoke and it's disappearing into someone else's mouth
When I walk the beach at night and see the ocean it's like I'm looking upon an old friend for the first time
There's a sense of knowing, and a sense of unknowing
A sense of being surrounded and being alone both at the same time
Not unlike the feeling I get when you leave me, or when I see you again
Because you alone can destroy me just fine
If there's a world where I should be with you, this is not the one
If there's a time where you and I would work, this is not the one
It isn't worth knowing life without the feeling you give me when you want to
There are only three people I truly trust in this world, and two of them are you
I used to think that being with you was all I'd ever want, all I ever wanted, and there was no way this could happen
But now I find myself wondering why I get up every day, and why you're still there beside me
I can still hear the ringing in my ears
Your face is burned into the back of my eyelids
Even if I wanted to forget you
I couldn't
I used to think that I could read your mind, that I could see you for who you really are and you could see me
But now I know I was losing my mind, and that I still am
And there's nothing you or I could do, can do, to change that
Or anything else that happened
