Oro from Royal Love by Jed Baronia

burning the midnight oil
the rain was washing down across our windshield
putting god himself on his heels

believing in forever
not just the word, but all our favorite fictions
our bodily addictions

our breath tangled as our words escape
before our mouths can hold them to a whisper
our hearts dancing out of time, and out of place
as the sky begins to fade into night

[c]
so stay golden like the town that you call home
i know you'll leave my heart behind you
i know our love was always lied to

eyes closed
our lips were moving faster every second
the beauty and the breathless

and who am i to say?
the love we lose may never leave us, never fade
the petrichor the glory days

[c]
and don't wait for anyone to catch up now
you know the best is not behind you
and golden hearts will always find you

golden like the town that you call home
i know you'll leave my heart behind you
i know you don't need me like i need-
