can we hold hands one more time
absent mindedly moving our fingers in small circles
the sun's coming up
starting to creep onto the wall
your chest rises and falls with each breath
i can feel your heart beating
the light is going to bring an end to this
to this little world
this tiny pocket of happiness

oh how none of us ever expected this to happen
did we?
it makes it harder
when it happens suddenly

but i don't know if love has ever happened slowly for me at all
