all who wander arent always aimless. where do you go to escape yourself? close your eyes and see me. <br /> all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. <br /> i am in love with you &lt;3

I've fallen too early
You're apart of me.
it's too late.
now I'm barely existing,
you're the breath that i take,
but I'm already dying.
my heart beats for you.
it will stop for you,
so let me show you whats new
let me lay here and die
in your arms.
i can't feel you,
you aren't here.
and when you do come,
it's the other half
of my heart that you'll bring.
i can't breathe, you're my breath
the air that i breathe.
so now i suffocate.
and once my lips are blue
and my skin is cold,
you will be here.
and know that it's true.
I'm gone.
my heart has stopped.
I'm gone
