"I imagine you dream of me on the nights I dream of you. I'm always so confused by the platonic way we enjoy each other's company. We talk about so many things that I can't recall when I wake up. How did you get me pregnant last night? We never touch in my dreams."

Time steals the years,And your reflection in the mirror.But I can still see the story in your eyes, And your timeless passion that's never died.While your skin became tired,Your heart became strong,The present became the past,And your memories like a song.And though the moment at hand is all that we have, You've taught me to live it like it is our last.Since two words don't say 'thank you' the way they are meant to,I'll try all my life to be something like you."
