I spoke to trails about my errors
My nothings have no room left to grow
I'm joyous and glee
Enclosing within my own caliber
The existence I'm speaking into is persistent  
I'm free of any refraction that can see itself ring
We think we are the only ones
The adoring spectacle of awaiting orders  
Don't wear clothes that aren't meant to be worn by you
I stitch values onto the linen that underlines the day I was born

I have never seen a shell like yours
The smooth shine invites sunlight that dances on your home
Our shells side by side
Split image souls that Rorschach couldn't quiet duplicate
We talk from the windows of our domains
The beaming similarities of a feeling I've never had
I split this affection in half and let you have your share
I throw my heart over and it doesn't quite reach you
The feeling of unknown
I am cautious of shallow water
How easy it is to doubt survival
How rejuvenating it is to hear your heart
My shell won't limit my direction towards you
I will catapult into the unknown feeling bare
Unlimiting actions
We are forever here

Dim lights still glow
I left them on
For you only to know

Shedding lambency on my faults
I study stars jump out of planes
You see meteors do the same thing

Two wrongs make a pattern
One must fail
The uptick corkscrew found on this trail

We reach for starlight
You kept me on
It's bright out here

Connecting flights with lost signal
You flew to the wishing well
Stars still fall from planes

There's nothing we can't feel
Idle conversation for everyone to leave the room
Your approach towards the world is to heal
PJ's at work is prohibited
You swarm my thoughts while looking unfazed
broached feelings inspired more than just a chase

We hate the word "forever"
Elongating anything more than enough is fatal
We love the word "moment"
Jumping in your life is you giving me a key for my own suspicion of freedom
Unwilling to move from that spot in your mind
I solve labyrinths whenever I choose to
I'm sure enough that you're enough while we stay puzzled  
I hate the word "label"
I care enough to see your strength
To dare not change the box we don't fit in
Measuring out expectations while you stop me in my tracks reassuring that your finish line is wherever I want it to be
You hate the word "doubt"
You share sentiments of courage with every stab in the dark
We have lived the grand scheme of everything
You'll always belong to yourself

Preserved for calm hue
The river of lava rests
More dancing for rain

Ok you win. You predicted that our fates of running around looking for each other will eventually end

I lose. I failed to acknowledged that ideas in my head of you are memories of a past I didn't want to choose

You chose. To manipulate my fears and uphold your promise as soon as your heart froze
