Phantom

Phantom

I met your soul on a day that doesn't exist where we are.
We didn't have all the time in the world
But we had eternity.
And when the world slept, we would dance on the stars to music composed by comets, convincing us we were real.
Like we used to be.

Sometimes my particles would shimmer. It was my substitute for tears.
And I was a mute, standing in the spotlight of the moon; somehow I couldn't say that I loved you.
"You don't need to live to love"
It was something you told me once.

Phantom hand in phantom hand.
We smiled a phantom smile, like an explosion of colour flooding our empty graves.
And my phantom heart beats just as your phantom heart beats
We don't have all the time in the world
But we have eternity.
