At Least...

I didn't notice you. Well… not at first. I've seen them all walk away, a thousand times. …But then… Guess who's back. I won't lie. Things get dull… after a while. You caught my eye. The pavement cracked when I smiled. At least… until… I had you in my sight, right away. You walk like this wasn't home. Always with those headphones on, like they could drown me out. Then I caught myself, focusing on small things. The stubborn way you ignore the sun. You and your coffee, always cold, while the world around you burns. I won't lie. Things get dull… after a while. There's something about you. I might have a good time. At least… until… You came back lighter, carrying what you learned. You move like you earned it, thinking you could leave when you want. You know what… I want to keep you. I will chain you. I won't lie. Things get dull… after a while. I'm going insane, with no one to blame. I'll make you mine, for a while. At least… until… I don't lie. I never lie. Eternity won't suck, for a while. At least… until... [REDACTED]. At least… until... [REDACTED].
