before i lose you tonight

i will walk over water

and i will kiss the ghosts

veiling your face and

shrouding your shoulders

before i lose you tonight

i will drown myself in air

and whisper lullabies

to your heart

beating to a new rhythm

before i lose you tonight

i am going to snuff the stars

i had lit to welcome you home

and i will cling wrap a plate of my feelings

i had served specially for you

before i lose you tonight

i will see pure love in your eyes

i will hope its for me

and i will convince myself to smile

before i run away tonight

i will watch you breathe in your sleep

and i will remember your morning smile

as the last thing i see

before i find myself tomorrow
