here's to the things that will not last

[sofiebgoode]

here's to the things that will not last
and to their glowing in the dark
the blood that must dry up some day
here's to the instantaneous spark
will you look back with me and say
that it was worth the lies we told?

here's to time running out too fast
and to its echoes in our thoughts
the pulse that must slow down at last
here's to the moment we get caught
will you smile when we both walk away
will you look graceful, brave and bold?
