All That I Want


I live on waves of your expressions with nary a time to relax, for I must stay

afloat to forever hold your grasp.

A kiss, a murmur, a 2am thought.

A love, a lie, are all that I want.

Our love lasts only as long as your wave but I could not fall over because I would not be saved.

A kiss, a murmur, a 2am thought,

A love, a lie, are all that I want,

But we don’t get what we want. Are we forever and a day or a never in our lifetime.

Would a new lifetime change us? Or do we retain our everlasting nothingness?

A kiss, a murmur, a 2am thought,

A love, a lie, are all that I want.
