Timeless

I wanted to stay there forever

Under that tree with you.

I wanted to lie there

Live beneath the sky's blue.

I wanted to look at the constellations at night

And name the clouds' shapes in the daytime.

I wanted to stay there

Timeless and free

I wanted time to stop

Static

Freeze you and me.

I wanted to talk to you

I wanted you to open up

I wanted to reach you

Love you

And stuff.

I wanted to stay there

Together as we grew old;

Timeless

And painless

Where nothing went untold.

I wanted time to stop

When you met my eyes.

I wanted you to come back

To see the sun rise

With me at your side

Like it was supposed to be

But this reality's not timeless

Not happy for me.

I wanted to stay there

In that desperate golden moment

Young and in love

But I'll never show it.

  • Reflections

    Everybody hates mirrors.

    Anything reflective.

    Anything that shows you who you are -

    we will never be enough to appease ourselves.

    I miss when I could go into a public restroom

    and wash my hands

  • What I want

    I wasn’t

    Sure.

    Not one hundred percent.

    I knew I wanted it

    But I wasn’t prepared last time

    We weren’t ready last time

    I’m surprised I was ready this time.

    But I was -

    We were.
