A lit up walk
Real words tumble out
Hushed
Then aided

Different but the same

And you're right, I do know you
And you're right
****** you're right

You still don't know how much I love,
I believe you when you say you wish you did
I believe in you

And ****, I love you
I love you so much
And it needs to be enough that for you it's just a "like"

Because you still kiss my cheeks and my lips and my fears
You're still here,
And it needs to be enough

I know it's over
This time for real
Yes we'll have our slip-ups
but only through this year
I've loved so deep and I'm still pretty far down
And aren't you cozy
Driving around all over town
Your new laugh, new friends, new skin
I can feel you forgetting me
It's because I'm old news
And that's just fine
But you're not new and I find a million ways to want you to be mine
I wish there was a way to express everything you've made me feel
It's been a hell of a ride and I have yet to heal
But I'll run my miles and read my books
Write a few papers and try to exchange new looks
I'll slide on with the months and watch you not be you
And I'll meet you in the sheets where we'll do what we do

I want to unfold
Let pages loose and dance on them

Laugh at who mocks words
Words?
No, that's a waste
Mock actions, if anything

The ones made on purpose
Over and over again

Let her dance
Let her know more
Let peace settle
Let it lie

morning drips now
you were here
it wasn't a dream
i know
it's so easy
one slip and you're here
it's dangerous
how easy i fall in love with you

A closed window
When it could be open
Oh but that depends on so many things
Does my mom want it open?
What's the weather like?
What's on the other side?
And I can see everything
The distractions
The different directions that aren't mine
And how selfish
I still have a fan inside
But the air it blows isn't as authentic
But you know, I'd have it open all the time if I could
If you wanted
If you wanted to open up to me

Unhook the latch
Linger your lips
Push harder till I feel the bones of your hips
Stay longer so your eyes mesh with mine
Honey, we got this, we'll be just fine
How do I know? I just do.
Can't you hear that?
See, we're breathing, we're dreaming
We're seeing ourselves
We're escaping
I'm escaping
I'm finding
myself,
with you.
