I wonder how long I'll let song lyrics say all my words for me.

It's just something I think about

when they're echoing, echoing

in the hollows of my heart

And the sound bounces around

like driftwood in the waves

pounds in my ears

like those same waves on the rocks

Do I live?

Or am I dying?

Somedays I struggle

to see the difference

Sunlight bathes me in gold

Still something in me feels cold

Why can't I react?

Is my heart still intact?

Because you tell me you miss me

Since when is that so?

You take me by surprise

but what's the motivation?

Perhaps you've finally realized

that I am magic and light

trying to escape into a world

of moonlight

Or perhaps it's fear

Soon I'll be far from this place

Who will you love, or more importantly,

who will love you?

Because I'll be learning something new

Far from you

in a place you can't reach

Maybe I'll forget you

Maybe then I'll speak my own words

not just this beautiful, rhythmic code

that always keeps me safe

from how I feel for you
