fading

We're enveloped by darkness As daylight buckles, breaks, and fades Under the weight of the rising moon. I develop a false sense of security, With the steady rhythm of your breath, Of your heart. Your presence is heavy. I drown in your smell. Why don't you to stay here a while? (forever) How can I sleep? I'm living a dream.

I don't understand the title. Nothing here seems to be fading. Read your other 2, and I get the feeling your not jumping in. Just wandering around the perimeter. This is the strongest and most invested of the 3. I especially can relate to the last 2 lines, but somehow the last line feels overly dramatic in a cheesy sort of way.
