Screaming To The North

all last night i laughed and thought about how you remind me of the best years of my life.
in this dead air, your breath shows between us:
the spaces we've made, the flaws we'd missed.
the cold outside is warmer than you'll ever be, tonight.
i guess there are some times in life when you have to learn to be forgotten.
my heart bleeds to be forgot.
i said to you, “we'll make it all right, before it's too late.”
i can't always say i'll be there for you, if you just fade away.
your momentary lapse of thought and the way you chose to leave
will stick with me more than you'll ever know.
"the doubt i feel has become more than a word. i thought I knew you."
i watched the dust trail your steps off the road.
if i stay here with you, if i lay here with you tonight, will you be there forever?
tonight, tonight we'll make it right, before it's too late.
