Young hearts fragile as old bones
catch her cold she goes viral
born to see days like tomorrow
wait a moment and it’s gone
No escape tied up in dreams
his will to keep her near
her hand quite ordinary till held
the gift of his life hers
Reality no place in this fantasy
smile at the ludicrousness of stars
take away the madness let breathe
be still let yourself go now

Your opening two lines had me enthralled straight off, and then I fantasised my through your intriguing words
“Young hearts fragile as old bones
catch her cold she goes viral”
