a single space and two bodies you are drawn to the same air as i but only (and only) sometimes i wait for the message that says "hello beautiful" sift through the crowds to reach you for "goodbye" and those days always come and go when they're here, they're here when i have nothing to show for myself i can't stand to be next to a mirror picking apart all the things you say you love about me up and awake wondering when you'll set your sights on a new shiny distraction i don't believe in putting a padlock on handcuffs and swallowing the key nothing gold can stay yet my mouth waters at the thought of pulling you in but this place is a social experiment where you and i can be whoever you want i am a social chameleon adjusting to whichever patterns and personalities fit my surroundings believer and doubter but the light and darkness aren't ambiguous just the shadows between and that's where we'll be if you let me
