Green Light
With full speed, full force and full throttle
I let my heart swim towards you like an axolotl
on a windy and cold December
Trying to escape a lake that's half frozen
And if I were to given a choice, pick who my heart had chosen
It would still be you.

Amber Light
Tempted to still dive into what it was,
I was caught up between stopping and going
But with pure temptation from my heart
I drove it with more heart and less smart
So even if I were fined for pushing forward
I knew it would be worth it.
I chose to drive on, ignoring road rules
As though they became the size of toad stools.
This was my transitioning light,
Not to dim and not to bright,
Settled in between morning and night
and it was as if we were seeing different lights.

Red Light
Everything came to a complete stop,
No movements except
The faint echoes of a heartbeat
still tempted about being able
to go,
observing the rules as set
and hoping that the road ahead
for those who still saw green lights
were smooth.
