I wish you could have stayed forever

nothing lasts
god knows
nothing lasts

not even god lasted

not even love lasted

not even beauty lasted

not even the ecstasy lasted

not even the drunken haze lasted

not even the dream lasted

nothing lasts
god knows
nothing lasts

not even your smile

not the warm feeling in my stomach

not the butterflies that came when I saw you

not the feeling of your hand in mine, my hand in yours

not even the memories of our feet kicking through autumn leaves

not even the taste of your kisses on those wintry nights
when we could see eachother's breath, until our lips met
then parted

not a thing
no
not a thing

not a hatred

not a jealousy

not a lie

not a betrayal

not a grief

not a pain

not a thing
not a feeling
not a thought

nothing

nothing lasts

everything passes

and yet
we cling on tight as fuck
in case we lose it
lose something

but, we lose everything - don't we?
