I wish it was a simpler time
When love was all it took
To succeed with someone by your side
In this world of complications
Love is never good enough
To keep you by myside
Our love burned bright
Until it was doused in liquid misery
And what was once fiery
Now has a constant chill
I’m trying to ignore the cold
We used to talk all the time
Can you hear me now
Crying over you
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you
But please tell me something
So I know the world will be okay
Without you
You used to play a beautiful melody
On my delicate heart strings
But when you left
They all snapped under the tension
Caused by the pain of a broken heart
I wish that I could wake up knowing you lived on
Because your departure
Has turned a happy tune
To one filled with despair
Every song I hear reminds me of your smile
And I don’t want to hear a world without you
But i know that i’ve only got so much time
Before i join you, to play in the infinity of clouds
One day we will say hello
And rejoin our badly burnt hands
From our love’s wild flame
That blazed until your last day
When we said our unwanted goodbye
And i will keep going until we meet again
Because it truly was a privilege to have my heart filled up by you

This is inspired by The Fault in Our Stars, in case you couldn't tell. Most of my work about love is inspired by people around me or, more often, fictional characters. This is because i am very lacking in a love life, haha oh well.
