Evaporating Thoughts

Only once in a lifetime do we meet people like you...
The one who overflows all your levies, barriers and walls
Makes you question love, society, gravity, yourself
The kind of people you loose yourself in willingly
Drowning in the waves of their beauty, their light

Those are the ones who you'll never get that piece of your heart back from
And you can't even go after it
Because the love they gave you even for that brief moment was worth that chunk of yourself
So you watch them disappear with you forever - a peaceful surrender

I think back on all the moments from before wondering...
If we really did have a chance? If doom was really what was lurking behind the brick wall
If that light we saw glowing behind it..
Was really the flash of us blowing up in each other's faces

I remember staring out of windows with both eyes closed listening to you
I remember running to the phone, holding your hand, praying for another chance....
Instead the tide of life washed away all the hope but left the memories behind
Building shrines on the foundation of our broken future

I'll always love that one and the watermark they left behind
A painful reminder of the beautiful renovation they did to my heart
You're still the perfect line to what I wish was my life's poem
The last wave to sweep away my heart
