To Paint a Heartbeat

by Fanuilos

-When I Dream-

I understand

I am not meant to last
I am not meant to live

These pulses fade away
And I dream of the death
To come

The nights are promises
Of what I will become
The nights are whispers
Of what I am to be
And I feel in my dreams
The end approaching

I understand

I am not meant to last
I am not meant to live

But when I dream
Of my death
I feel life slip away
And I remember what defines
Life from death

My every living moment
Brushes gently by
My quickening senses

Every living moment
Of you

I understand

I am not meant to last
I am not meant to live

But when I dream
Of my death
You come as my farewell

Your hair across my fingers
Smooth and light

Your body in my arms
Small and frail

Your smile on my eyes
Bright and free

Your voice against my ears
Warm and sweet

Your life awakening in me
A desire to remain

I understand

I am not meant to last
I am not meant to live

But when I dream
Of life
I dream of you
And wish

That I had never been apart
From the life so dear as you

If I were allowed to last,
I would last to live
I would last for you

But I understand

I must die

So farewell
To my life
To my love

Thank you
