Me and my darling keep love alive, even on California time.

We're not teenagers anymore, so we sip black coffee in the morning. The most precious hours of the day, our little worlds together. All of your attention directed my way, even if it's not what I need.

I'd fall for you, but distance keeps us out of love. And that's probably a good thing, because I'm always in love. Always dreaming.

Time passes so much, but it's these small moments that seem to say stuck right where they are. They're the reason I smile for what seems like no reason on the subway, or when I'm walking to my coffee shop.

Holding on to things will only break your heart, so I move forward without knowing what I want. But sometimes, memories of you sneak up on me in the in-betweens and I'm ok with that now.
