This perception i called love
what did it mean to you
who lived inside of me
knew the contours of my heart
or so I thought

This perception i called love
did you feel it too
the sweet despair, the longing
the breathless lungs
sweeping away reason

This perception i called love
was it just a game for you
letting the tears fall
our hearts, or, my heart aching
as life carried you away

This perception i called love
could it truly be called so
when time takes it all away
and only memories are left
as sweet nothings
