Too fast

Every time I think I didn’t care

Every time I think you did nothing to me

But I can feel you

Creeping around who I’ve become

In my relationships

Beyond you -

I didn’t know how to do this,

And you were my first,

But that was not

Not what a

Not what it should’ve been

Not what I wanted

And so

I considered it normal

Maybe this is how you date people

Took your example

This time

And it means

I’m taking it

Too fast

Faster

Faster

Too fast
This is not

What it should be

This is fast

And I know it

Will burn out

Quickly

But I want to say these things

And I think I mean it

Do you?

And I am still learning

How to do this

So will you tell me

If it’s too much

Too fast?

Will you say it?

I don’t know how to do this

And I am trying to figure it out

Because my only example

My only one before

This

Was

Not something

I enjoyed.

I want to enjoy this

But

I’m scared it’s

Too fast.

  • Story Mountain

    I guess I've been thinking

    The story mountain we made

    And the characters didn't even get their lives told

    Because ours crashed and burned before we could handle it

  • I Won't

    Nope

    I'm not going back to school.

    I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads

    And shopping trips

    The packing

    The new outfits

    The brand-new pencils

    I won't do it

  • Glimpses

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it
