Snippets of Color

is this true? is it you?

every breath I take is missing your warmth
every star that gazes down and slips into my body
makes me ache
(but I don't know if it's right)
I'll take a sip of your laugh and bathe in it
wondering if it's true
Is the love I feel in my bones a shadow of what I want
or am I longing for you?
every time you look into my eyes
you look into my soul
are you searching for what we are too?
are you feeling the same hollowness that resides within my skin?
you're as simple as singing
you're as easy as breathing
I can trace you like the ceiling of my room in the dark
a part of you has grown into the limbs that stretch from my body
a piece of you is embedded in my soul
(but are we right? is this true?)
you unlock a part of me that I shut off from everyone else
it's the me you know so well
from all the years that fall behind us
I long for your touch
and I long for your voice
I know the sound of your laugh like my own
and I know that I'm in love with you
I've never doubted that
I know I'm in love with you
I just don't know if it's the love I want
(is it you? are we true?)
I know I'll never be able to let you go
we're tied together in a knot that can't be undone
I'm just afraid that over the years
we're going to forget
what it felt like to touch
to laugh
to breathe
to be together
I'm terrified of a future
where you're nothing more than a memory in my head
someone I knew for so long
but somehow let go 
I'm terrified of forgetting
that it's you that lets me breathe
it's you that makes me feel safe
just let this be right
once again on this tireless night 
I can't help but ask fate
if this is real
if every step
every touch
every move we make
is leading into each other's hearts
are we meant to be joined together?
or are we meant to fall apart
like ashes blowing in the wind?
every day I start to believe
maybe I'm just looking for love
and not you

(this isn't true

it's not you

it's not you

it's not you)
