One Night in August

you told me i could save you with my heartbeat
you told me what i wanted to hear
but i found the empty viles and the green bottles smashed to pieces
i wished at that moment i could give you all you'd ever want in one
magnetic breathe
you so beautiful
so waisted
i stared at you and begged to enter your world of nothingness
where there was no time
and no one could tell you what to do
it was 2 AM and i slung my leg over you and kissed you
you in your daze
it was so powerful
when i thought so hard i could take all the pain away
as you open your eyes
i kissed you
and then whispered....
fast or slow?
