He lives in days I live in decades His world in constant change My world struggles to be sane The master of his ship Unbothered by the sea I am the waves, the current All the chaos underneath How incompatible are we Only now I've come to see He was made for adventure But he was not made for me He can tolerate the harshness He can understand my depth But tolerance is still not love Or else he wouldn't have left Our paces are mismatched They cannot intertwine How do I catch up to him If his pace outruns mine His seconds are my moments So little that he forgets Locked beneath my trenches Like a buried treasure chest

Test The Waters
He lives in days I live in decades His world in constant change My world struggles to be sane The master of his ship Unbothered by the sea I am the waves, the current All the chaos underneath How incompatible are we Only now I've come to see He was made for adventure But he was not made for me He can tolerate the harshness He can understand my depth But tolerance is still not love Or else he wouldn't have left Our paces are mismatched They cannot intertwine How do I catch up to him If his pace outruns mine His seconds are my moments So little that he forgets Locked beneath my trenches Like a buried treasure chest
