"Sometimes I forget that love exists"

Sometimes I forget that love exists

That it runs rings

round the heart

Down in the dark of the soul

I forgot that it is all

that makes us whole

Taking one step from nothing at all

To everything that we've ever wanted

and more

Just like the silence of the night

Calling us out like dying of light

Since we so adored the fight

And the heat

that it brought

Only to fall ecstatically like the rain

Gladly enduring the pain

and its ache

Ten thousand years

Or an eternal pour

I forget—and remember—that love

was everything we've ever wanted

and everything we wanted to die for
