i think i'd like to say how i feel
i'd rather not sugar-coat it
or dance around the issue
i'd like to tell you
how hard it is to breathe
when you know
that all you live for is routine
all you live for is the turn of a page
or the flight of a leaf
in an autumn breeze
it's a movie in my head

no,
no i don't hate life
i love it too much
too much passion for something
can tear you up inside
and i'm tired of loving
i'm tired of breathing in every moment
like it were my last
when it's far from it
i'd like to connect to people
not moments
i'd like to hold hands with a person
not fate
anything but fate
anything but fate

this feeling
in the pit of my stomach
i can't tell you it's like a waterfall
or a cool morning
like a quick rain shower
or snow falling
i'd rather not sugar-coat it
it feels like loneliness
because i'm in love with love

Yes, quite beautiful. I especially loved the last lines. Wonderful.
