Look, I just want to be childish and sunshine running through underpasses playing with paper planes dragging you into the snow because life is something to celebrate
A long time ago I found myself there, with you me being me you being you The cold night warmed my rusty insides It wasn't so bad
But the world wasn't all that, love We can't stay so sheltered forever This last storm rocked a city cold- colder than can be considered warm, I mean- and while I want to read your words and remember your breath and bones and fall into you I'd really just be falling nothing romanticized about it. No one wants to leave all of their solid ground forever. some of it, yes, but not all of it.
I've always been an all-or-nothing kind of person, in some ways but life is about letting parts of yourself go so you can grow and I can grow
We're just two plants, you and I not in the same pea pod, or even the same planter but we both miss summer's glow and are jealous that our neighbors are sprouting flowers.
And at the end of it all, we'll both be fine.
You maybe want(ed) me to be your sunshine. But I'm just blocking your view. Something out there will be greater for you. For skewing perspective, I am sorry. And for seeing you in shadow I am sorry. And for us growing in new ways because of each other, I'll carry your full bright-green flavor forever.Β Β And I'll think back on us forever. I'll acknowledge that, for some things, you never move on. One by one, day by day, babe. I'm happy you're talking about it.
