I paused On the road to pick those wildflowers Yeah I stopped ill indignantly pluck roaming buds for you without warning
here hold these
I paused then too When I tried to kiss you And that show was playing Stars and septette timelines im sorry you were saying some-thin but look shhhh grab my hand
I paused before grinned that round-toothed smile you so love or at least write about
i paused to look at you to smell you one more time before opening the window and then again when the window didnt matter
when "full on" was a demand when you asked me more questions when we fought about our limits
ill pause because i have to bring you back to we imagine careen and just not crash
somersaults and strobe lights
were pausing for a moment to change each other who COULD like this
i wont lie about it im begging on two knees
it started as a mean joke i pray that it ends as no suicide letter i mean this poem will self destruct
