Collision Course

When the clouds collide it brings about a sort of electricity
Much like the same feeling as when I kiss you
We were bolts of lightning tearing apart the night sky
Disrupting the peace between love and need
Because as much as I loved you i did not need you
So when I saw you crashing against another cloud that was not mine
It was a racking sensation that lit up my body
It was not me, it was you
Loving someone the way I loved you was like a roller coaster ride
In the beginning it was simple enough but the fear of derailment was there
When the wheels no longer met the tracks you were expecting it
But you were not prepared to say goodbye
So when you saw the colors running down my face I knew you should have said goodbye
But instead of parting ways I was enveloped in your arms 
And I noticed for the first time that there was no lightning in our touch
