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.

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

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

It's like a photograph I don't really want to see
with it's pixels arranged in black and white
with silhouettes of ordinary faces
In a back round of melted faces and cheap personalities
where I feel singled out and special
where I want to be different
where I want to fall so richly into love
Where the more I try,
the more I realize I don't have to anymore

In that bed,
where we almost made love
Where we would have if I wasn't so **** scared and if my mom wasn't home
Where I wanted to touch and know every piece of you
Where I wanted you to know every bit of me, I wanted to know every bit of me
Oh, the places I need you, the ways that I see you
My desire for desire
The want of never ending kisses, ended by wisps of hair in the way
Inside your shorts still isn't close enough, inside the sheets still isn't close enough
So come here and kiss me, will you? Love me
Get closer, and even when you're here, get closer

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

He loves me,
I'm glad,
because I love him
I think I need to be with him
I do
I need a new adventure, but isn't that what you are,
just slightly stale?
I need him.
I need his hugs and his skin
but baby I need you too
You have to see now, its no longer just you and me
I drag around other souls
I break them down until I start breaking down me
So just go. Just cheat.
Give me a reason to fight, because this is just to **** easy.
Stop loving me, so I can love you more.
Let me kiss him, so I can know what its like.
Just leave me, pick a fight that's different than our constant
Show me the kind of love I need
Give me a vinyl and chai afternoon
Be the person I need you to be
Do the things I need you to do
Be the person in my head.
or let me see if its him.

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
