My legs were as un-*******-stable as my heart
and I could feel my knees trembling
in the same way that my bottom lip was

and even though the seats of the bus stop were only a short reach away
soon you wouldn't be
so I said nothing
and continued to stand with your arms around me
like I was your favourite belonging
that you were sheltering from damage

and I took the un-even strings of your hoodie into my hand
and traced onto your chest as though I was stitching up the wounds
of your shattered heart
and the blood that I could feel pouring out of it

but instead,
I traced the word "****"
and I got on my bus
and I left you
before you could leave me

It would take me
474,536 steps
to be at your door right now

But darling,
just say the word
and I'll start lacing up my shoes

-h.w.

We'll make this last , just as we promised . We'll have the life we always wanted .

Close together or far apart , you're forever in my heart.

If I could only see you in my dreams , I'd sleep forever . Time may take us apart , but pretty soon I'll be in your arms .

you're in my heart , you'll be in my dreams , no matter the miles between.

I know the waiting has been long , but baby it will be worth it , my dear I wish you could be here so you can kiss me slowly.

And if I could only see you in my dreams , I'd sleep forever . Time may take us apart , but pretty soon I'll be in your arms .

you're in my heart , you'll be in my dreams , no matter the miles between.

Close together or far apart , I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
