Reasons

Dance with me until life fades away and all that remains is you. us. this. Sing to me while the darkness closes in around and leaves only the light of your lips skimming over mine. (Music). Drink with me as the music blares and smoke fills the room, lights and sound crashing together. (Hope). Lay next to me as I rest my head on your heart listening only to its percussion letting me know that you're still there. (Dreams). You ask how I can miss you when you're right next to me. I ask how can you not? there's so little time left. each moment you're gone is painfully wasteful. I ask how you can stand to leave me first in action if not word? You ask how can you not? there's nothing but pain left here. it's stupid to stay involved. Maybe you're right. I stay for the hope that you'll drink with me, laugh with me, dance with me, kiss me one more time. Because that would make it worth staying just a little while longer. How could it not?
