This is when I know I love you:
I can't do this anymore, I tell you
I can't
the moon cuts my room in half
black and white
before and after
and I ask what you'll do when I'm gone.
You don't answer
say you can't see that
can't think that
can't live that
and I think about staying for you.
But everything hurts
we both know that
and goodbye is inevitable,
one way or another.
Each night is a losing battle
but you fight some for me.
You hold me up.
You give me the stars
and I know that's cliché,
but that's how it feels –
like you cut out pieces of sky
and send them to me
to get me through till morning.
And some nights,
like tonight,
you let me sleep.
And before you go,
you cut out another piece of the sky
"goodnight, sweetheart"
and cliché or not
that's when I know
that I need you
that I love you
that it's you I can't live without.
That was before everything. But that was when I knew.
