Before my whole being gives up the fight
Before my arms grow weary of holding you
Before my ears find your voice unknown to me
Before my eyes fall faint looking for you
Before my soul gives up on you entirely
Before my heart grows pale to your love
Before my feet no longer desire to run to you
Before my skin loses sensitivity to your touch
Before my body no longer desires you
Before your presence becomes an irritation
Before passion dwindles and dries out
Before apologies can mend nothing
Before tomorrow becomes never
Before you become just another
Before the idea of us unbothers me
Before the test of time proves me a failure
Before the glimmers of hope turn to nothing
Before loneliness becomes the new norm
Before we turn into strangers
Before I leave, to the unknown
When we still have time, my love
Find your way home, to me
