Dream of me,
I wish the best.
Imagine what it’s like…
Only to be alive.
Come close
Kiss me.
Is it true?
You’ll make me fall in love with you,
Over and over.
You’re doing it again.
Lie to me and tell me your secrets.
I only wish the best.
Caress my cheek
As the tears fall from it.
Tell me they’re alright…
Make me believe you’re fine.
Read to me.
Show me the stars.
You’re beneath my skin,
Like poison and sweet gin.
You know me…
We know each other sometimes.
