Silently we took each step towards the horizon, And the colors of the sunrise soaked our skin, We felt the waves of wind wash over us I would’ve undone every breath I ever took, Just to spend that minute with you again.
And the tears burned my eyes like acidic rain As I felt your fingers slip slowly out of my grasp We let the sunset cast colors across the darkened sky As we gazed on in awe, wishing we were part of the spectrum. We breathed in the colors and drank them like wine.
Oh, how we let our arms embrace under the burning Iridescent light of the curious stars hanging above Basking in the darkness of the sky that once was so bright Crashing waves of color consumed our innocence Unclouding our blurred vision, which let through no images
Our irises burned for more color, becoming drunk with exhilaration How we never grew tired, waiting for the sun to rise over the horizon How we wept when the sun set but we drank and drank the colors. We never wanted to get lost in the moment, we envisioned the beauty The sun cast shadows upon the pavement and for a while we were giants.
And when you walked to the horizon alone that day, The sun wept and the colors collided, crashing waves in the ocean. The sky remained a dim blue—never turning black for sorrow The stars mustered all the strength just to burn so bright And I—I wished I could take back every breath I ever took So I could spend those precious seconds with you one more time.
