Love at horizon

Info

It wrenches my heart when you hold my hand
Like you love me through the darkest parts
But you know you'll be gone like the moon at night
And all you'll leave is an ailing heart
Or maybe two because I don't know
You don't tell me much about you
All you leave are patches of skin
On mine, where patterns of us, you drew
We don't have a name for us
We can't because of who we are
But I'll still be there to take my pieces
When we'll be worlds apart
They'll be lying low on the stairs and sills
Waiting for someone to come back
But you'll be gone and life isn't fair
So I'll sneak in to check and put them back
I don't want to ruin what we are
How far we've come through tunnels unseen
So I'll let them feel how we felt together
How hard and soft you had been
While tears dwell in my eyes
Your pictures will be blurred for good
I can't say I didn't love
This was all I ever could
And you leave so less of you in me
I frantically keep the memories inside
But the dream will end and you'll be gone
So I'll keep all of it on the chair beside
And you'll be closer than you'll be
So I'll look at it like the first time
While the warming arms that'll hold you
Will no longer be mine
You are like eruptions on the burning sun
So bright it blinds me but I watch you
I end up guilty and blinded
But it was worth everything, to be true
Your touch seeps deep within my skin
It's lightening, and it's like you felt it too
And all that secrets in my heart
That I never talked of, now live in two
You're clever, you've caged yourself inside
So you never jump off the cliff like me
But when I did, I landed on your feet
So you jumped when I did not see?
You've been here where I stand
Or maybe you thought you did
Because how can you know what I feel
Since long, it has stopped to be it
You're the light at the end of the tunnel
And the tunnel doesn't begin to end
And every once in a while I wish
You could have come earlier to this bend
But there is a dead end to this road
And it seems you knew this before me
You've known almost everything
Just not, you could be an island to this sea
You're not the sky but a rill down a hill
It's a pain to paint a world without blue
You're one shade that will never come
The one, where to put, I couldn't construe
But you're pretty and you're a favorite
So I keep you in my palette at night
Hoping someday maybe sometime
You'll paint it brighter than the sunlight
