i saw you last night and it almost felt like
-for a minute and not one second more-
when we used to see each other,
uninhibited
enchanted
now it's not the same and we can't even pretend
the rules won't bend because i won't let them
and i hope that there is no resentment,
but i'm prepared for a slow acceptance

If only there could have been
some type of an in-between
That could take me for awhile
to a world that I've never seen

It's not that I want to come
It's just I don't want to go
It's not that I want a high
It's just I don't want a low

I don't want myself without
But I don't want myself within
I don't want to commit to good
But I don't want to commit to sin 

It's not that I want to win
It's just I don't want to lose
It's not that I want a mystery
It's just I don't want the clues

I don't want to say hello 
But I don't want to say goodbye
I don't want myself to live
But I don't want myself to die

If only there could have been
some type of an in-between
That could take me for awhile
to a world that I've never seen

we fell asleep holding hands
you told me you loved me more for the tenth time this week
now i'm weak

we fell asleep holding hands
i listened to your breathing go from calm to complete slumber
woke up to you on tumblr

we fell asleep, legs intertwined
my feet lost all blood flow, but I didn't pull away
because yours were there to stay

we fell asleep, legs intertwined
our minds drifting further into dreams
somehow, you're always closer than you seem

I had a dream that you Snapchatted me.
When I woke up the next morning,
I had the hardest time determining whether or not it had actually happened.
What was it that I opened?
Caught between too convincing possibilities.
Still, I miss the dreams where we used to transcend reality.
What ever happened to them?
Did they get buried beneath our physical limitations?
Did we get so caught up in our own problems to the point where fantasy became too outlandish,
even in sleep?

**** that.

I'll dig them back up -
No matter how deep.
This ain't no cemetery.

all fall reminds me of is how things always seem to fall apart
whether it takes one second,
one sharp and precise knife to end the life of a seemingly-infinite moment;
or it takes decades,
a pendulum eventually stops swinging
my heart will never stop singing

i just want to keep writing until none of me is left
'til there's not even one dot of ink in my pen
until every drop of my blood has evaporated
until there is nothing more to be said
