We are nothing like each other. Nothing in common, save our brown eyes.
The list could go on forever, enough to see the thousandth sun rise. We will forever live of separate planes, reaching through time to get to one another. But to be honest
My heart is bright and hot,
and yours is not.
My mind wanders to every corner of imagination,
yours never seems to leave the station.
My body aches to explore this world,
at home is where you stay tightly curled.
I fight for others rights,
you send them packing into the night.
I find heaven in aΒ Β beer battered cod,
you pray to the most unkind god.
I treat my body like the temple that it is,
you break your bones and drown your brain in fizz.
I know I'll never be a hero no matter how hard I try,
but I don't know if I will ever stop attempting to save you...even if I know its a lie.
Anyone else know the feeling?
