Until Tomorrow

Snowflakes
and trails of breath fill the air
Frostbitten cheeks and
conversations about anything
and everything
I've never met anybody who takes
my mind off of life like you

We walk to keep the conversation moving
to keep blood and stimuli flowing
Adding to our time by
seeing things we either
both love or both hate
I love the way your eyes light up when you laugh

You move fast because you
simply want to see everything
before you have to die
I move slowly because we have
control over tonight and I want
it to last as long as it possibly can
We talk about mortality and realize
we're both afraid of the things we can't know

But you dive headlong into that darkness with a torch
and learn everything you can
I go over and over what is here
trying to glean every little detail
Hoping to find a loophole
and in digging through all this mental paperwork
I see your name signed at the bottom of every page
right next to mine

Suddenly I think
all the rest can wait until tomorrow
and I steal a kiss from the cold
