Little spats here and there
That's all they are
But each one leaves a scar
Or so I fear.
Duplicating rapidly
Outweighing the incredible
Songs, galleries, snow globes shared together
I'm scared you'll get bored of my grouchiness
Like I say, it's not you
It's the ache I'm suffering through.

Even if I call you my sister,
We're twin flames in the way that
We live virtually the same lives.
Sometimes I get jealous that yours is changing and mine stays the same despite our placements in the world
You're scared of what's to come but not to the point where it's crippling.
I think that's pretty brave for my younger self to bear 
I promise you'll rise where I've remained
You'll be the career woman you raved about, find love too
And they'll love you, they'll love you, they'll love you
Vaster than the amount we inhabited in their absence
You know I'm honest so believe it.

Countless nights I've stayed up
When I could be at the back of a taxi, a club, a friends house
I'm in bed waiting for you to say you want to hear my voice
That you're not just stringing me along but unfortunately I'm prone to it
It's almost like I'm asking to be forgotten about so I can wallow
And the sad thing is is that I fell for you like I fell for the others
Quickly, dangerously yet comfortably
That's just the impression you gave when you said you liked me
You wanted to get to know me better
You wanted to know how I react to sorry, to empty promises
So you know you can do it again when I leave and inevitably return.

You love bombed me up to high heaven.
I never asked for it, I wanted the opposite
Yet you came anyway, a pristine oblivion.
A nice person at the right moment until the moment didn't suit you.
Your eyes would burn, effort cumbersome
Wild for someone who said they understood
That I'd been strung along before and this was new
Only for you to fall in love not with me but with you.

I'd run across rivers, dodging the water beneath my feet
With a strength only women know when they're in love, including me
I want to knock on your door
See you surprised and fall to the floor, it's not too far away
If we don't think too much
We won't reach into our pockets and say that's enough
It's all done because nothing is shining, I wonder, does it ever?
Let's run across rivers...

Sharing the bed doesn't seem so bad if I woke up next to you.

Freshly showered, crisp sheets or pre rolled around in

I'd get as close to you as humanly possible, use you as the cover.

Shiver once you lay flat on your back, dreams projecting upwards.

Despite saying I'd move to the settee, I'd stay right here

Intertwining our shoulder blades, breathing in your sweat

as nighttime karate begins.
The lack of oxygen is recovered

When your eyes flutter open; catching mine that remain closed.

I can only share the bed if I'm in love. And love is the sleep you've given me.

I spend the time wasting it
It goes faster when I'm distracted and by getting distracted
I mean getting wasted.

Wasting it in fictional characters I can pretend to care about more the non. Not that I know the difference
Falling in love with words of bold.

I'm wasted without drinking
Dreaming, thinking, writing of the soon to be girlfriend in my phone who sleeps away my days.

We're wasting time by wasting time
Wishing the other wasn't wasting dates, wasting away
Until my arm's around your waist.
