Enough


Let me 

Let me love you

Let me love you, so intensly

That my heart will be made to brake

My world will be shaken by your presence

Shatter

Splinter

And carried off by the wind

Fragments

What should, could, ... had been

I

I will crumble

I will crumble under the weight of this feeling

So intense

So comple and encompassing

Let me

Let me hold you

Right here

Right now

My fingertips running across cotton and your warm skin

And let me bind you with this red string

This ribbon of fate

Dyed burgundy wine with my bleeding tears

Let me stand here next to you

And 

Let me wonder what will come next

Swim in the perplexity of all of our possibilities

Marvel at all our maybe's

Let me

Let me drown in utter rapture

Our flames burn me whole

Ignited 

Melted

And reduced to ash

Leave my soul unquenchable

Let me

Let me look up

Gaze into the stars and the cosmos

And 

Let me make this wish, as it all falls away

Losing myself in your eye's

Let me see myself reflected there

Always

And this world

As it crumbles and it falls

Succumbing to destruction and decay

To again become a grain of sand in the hourglass

Let the pounding of our hearts in our ears

Be louder then the bombs going off around us

And

As the end rushes near

Let my hand stay clasped in yours

 This pain

This fear

Agony, anguish, torment, and grief

They are fleeting

Giving way to numb Calmness

And

As the shock sets in

Let my breath calm and slow

Till it matches yours, and we breath as one

As it all draws near to stopping

I will hold these words inside my chest

Like a breath drawn in, and held

Only once i'm dazed and breathless

The movements to form the words almost forgotten

Only then

Only then will i lean that much closer into your embrace

Patiently waiting as our hearts slow to braking

Wretched, beating watches

We're running out of time

As I come closer

Pressing chilled lips to a soft ear

I grant you these words

One last reward

Dispite the coming end

As all the lights go out

All our stars have disappeard

And the darkness swallows us whole

These feelings

These memories

This life 

Our love

You

It... it was enough

It was enough
