the sound of the bells
rings in my head over and over again
saying
“you must accept the facts, the reality, the truth”
sometimes I don’t want to
but when it comes to you
you’re the only thing
the only one
I want to accept

when I saw you for the first time
it was seeing my future
consisting of one person
and that person is you
the more time we spend together
it makes me latch onto you more
every second with you I truly cherish
even after all the buildings crumble
the seven wonders of the earth no longer exist
I will love you
even when all my veins no longer stream blood
through my body
I will love you
do you know the great wave?
the great wave off kanagawa
if I were a painting
that’s what you could call me
i'm no mona lisa
or bridge over a pond of water lilies

I am unsteady and trampling over things I must avoid
I rise in order to get away from problems
the problems that trouble me most
like myself
or the fact that maybe I am not enough
and maybe even the things I do
maybe
maybe not
