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.
