I'm afraid

I'm afraid that one day,

You won't look at me the same way-

That the fire in your heart

Becomes replaced by

Unstirred piles of ash.

And waking up next to me

Each morning becomes more and more

Like a chore, a routine you can't quit.

I'm afraid that you'll fall out of love

Whilst my fondness grows stronger.

And the emotions of the past

Fading fast like ink in water.

And if this day should arise

Know that I would do it all again,

Fall in love all again.

Just to have you look at me again

The way you used to.

For I would gladly spend eternity

Elated, a starry eyed wanderer

Forever chasing this fleeting feeling.
