I need this right now.

Would it be okay

 

if we played pretend?

 

if we didn’t have to label this?

 

if we could share our worlds?

 

I need this right now.

 

Would it be okay

 

if I let you see my wounds?

 

if you traced them with your fingers?

 

if you kissed them with your lips?

 

I need this right now.

 

Would it be okay

 

if we went back to your place?

 

if we drank and smoked too much?

 

if we fell asleep looking at each other?

 

I need this right now.

 

Would it be okay

 

if we opened all the baggage?

 

if we accepted how broken our souls are?

 

if we allowed the sadness to seep in?

 

I need this right now.

 

Would it be okay

 

if we played the music quietly?

 

if you sang along?

 

if I listened to your voice?

 

I need this right now.

 

Would it be okay

 

if we acted like life was perfect?

 

if we kept this to ourselves?

 

if this moment lasted forever?

 

I need this right now.
