Because

So unexpectedly , you appear before me

I find in your embrace the home that I seek

So much I need to say, but words can't find a way

If only you could read my mind today

Because I have

An ineptitude to disregard the past

Because I have

A need for my first to also be my last

Because I have

A fixation on our nonexistent tomorrow

Because I have

No desire to associate us with sorrow

It's such a cruel joke the gods are playing on me

Granting me a love that I know can't be

Aware of all we have, loving on borrowed time

Giving up my all, but soon you won't be mine

Because you have

A crooked smile that scorches my soul

Because you have

A kiss that annihilates my self control

Because you have

The courage to reach for my hand first

Because you have

The willingness not to hide while at your worst

I willingly submit to the pain it would bring

As long as you're with me it's like I'm born with wings

I'll take what time we have, make every second last

Can I stop the Earth from spinning this fast

Because we have

The kind of affinity playwrights dream about

Because we have

The best of luck to have connected and gone out

Because we have

Sex and conversation as equally intense

Because we have

The worst of luck to lose to untimely circumstance

A blessing in disguise or a thorn in my side

Addicted to you now so I won't decide

You love me fearlessly, it shakes me to my soul

Can I be that brave when it's time to go

Because I'm crazy

For my overactive imagination poisons me

Because I'm crazy

For giving up my first genuine taste of ‘we’

Because I'm crazy

For 'moving on' is a concept I cannot allow

Because I'm crazy

For you, for us, forlorn, for now
