Swimming Against the Wave

Nothing lasts forever, so I've heard.
We choose to think that we are deep in love, so when we stumble upon obstacles far beyond our league, we have nothing to fear. With misty missions, you tell me, "Together, we will conquer it all."

We fail to understand, that we are swimming against the wave. We are fighting the entire universe.
So that's how I get it, a limit works in hurtful ways; We keep believing in forever, but forever is too long and uncertain, for our bones and flesh are rusting, eaten by time and space.

We are never gonna make it to the shore.
The magic between us is gone. Someone once told me that some people will stay, but some people will not: I thought you were the one who was going to stay through thick and thin, but apparently you’re not.

By then, I swallow the fact that
the forces put a limit to us,
so we know when to stop trying.
(And eventually, hurting.)
Sadly, loving you with all my heart and soul will never be enough for you. And now I realize it's the fear of loving and being loved
that still remains to torture the heart this way.
it is now a game over; you hold all the cards.
and it doesn't take long—for you to break my heart—once you are inside
