horizon

"and after i stayed awake the entire night,

waiting for you to return,

at sunrise, 

i suddenly remembered you saying

you're not coming back"

so will i

"if the stars were made to worship, so will i.

if the wind goes where you send it, so will i.

if the oceans roar your greatness, so will i.

if the rocks cry out in silence, so will i.

it's been a long time coming;

maybe we knew 

that there is beauty in ashes.

and so

no moment of hesitation

when we set our souls on fire,

just to see if the magic will disappear

or spark on through eternity. 

it's been a long time coming;

i can see your eyes beginning to tire

of the journeys my soul wants to take.

i imagine your heart turning weary of my love. 

i can feel your heart starting to believe

in the faith of my love.

you holding my hand

is like the rain kissing the trees.

like a thousand reasons for a single decision, 

or a hundred prayers for a single wish.

your smile is the answer

to any question my heart could ever have. 

your love is the path that i follow, 

even in the dark. 

"if you left the grave behind,

then so will i"
