After We Met

take a long hard look 
before i become the history
in your history book
it is full of irony

you have ten minutes
before i become inebriated
and my head falls to pieces
you should have just waited

slowly i feel alive
your fingers circling mine
i'd love to survive
im getting closer over time

even when the snow falls gently 
i cant remove it fast enough
you whisper breathlessly
i feel an avalanche
