Dust

I watch dust collect On your side of the bed How much longer will we try to fit Into skin we've outgrown Can't say I'm distraught when I sleep better alone Stuck in the comfort We find in each other Running away From the lives we could favor I wish we were braver I stare at the roses You gave me last month As they rot in the vase Just can't bring myself To throw them away You were all I've ever known But I love you So I must let you go Done with the comfort We find in each other Young enough Not to feel time was wasted I'll wish you the greatest You were all I've ever known But I love you so I'll let you go Temporary pain is worth The price of a life that we deserve We deserve We deserve
