i've had moments
here and there in golden
sneakers and navy blue
lace covered dresses
but i'm not the girl
in an owl city song
not something worth
writing dreamy poems
about not so lovestruck you
replace your words with dada
9/18/18
same sneakers
same dress
same faces
fresh sweat
suddenly the stars
all fall together
and my life comes
careening full circle
your arms around my waist
flashing blue lights
in our eyes as i scream
every word that kept me
sane through years of
hopelessness and rain
you move your mouth
trying your best to
sing along with me
but it all comes out dada
and shockingly
blindingly
i can see myself
clearly
and i find myself at last
the girl in an owl city song
hand in hand with
my very own adam young
now i know
all wishes come true
even the ones you didn’t
realize you made
and isn’t it the most
incredible
impossible
cosmic destiny
how years after we stop
dreaming
when we storm on through
washed out hopes
one day the pieces
just fall into place
with closure and new
beginnings all at once
rainbows and clouds
epiphanies and ecstasy
dreams and the dreamers
you and me
