~ Before We Fade ~
Kiss me before I fade.
I am a flower in this winter
beautiful in your eyes
frail and strong
against the winds of cold
What holds you back?
for every moment you wander
from me
my heart aches ten fold
You stare at me through
a hazy gray ice storm
but I can still see your
eyes
The you that is now and
the urgency I feel cannot
speed the long moments
ahead to where there is peace
kiss me before I fade
for tomorrow may never come
not even for me
should you leave and crush
my scarlet petals
The time is now and
the hour is late but
still
you linger in hesitation
that burns me
Take what I offer and seek
your victory
is my weakness and your crown
is my end
Don't you see? These
years
they are brief for me
and have been long for
you
But we will not be
forever
I am a flower that
watches it's sun
from afar
the skies grow dark
but you still shine
my sun, my moon
you shadow me
but warm my heart
you shade me
from the sky
Kiss me while
time is still rich
kiss me
before you fade
