Nov 2022
Wading in your waters swept me off of my feet
Carried away in your river with no one to blame but me

Unsure if I’ll make it out alive
Wasting breath swimming upstream
She said if I want to survive
Stop fighting the current, see where it takes me

Is this a higher power’s call back to when he played me a song and it made me think of you?
“I tried to swim to the side
but my feet got caught in the middle”
Somehow somehow somehow that line always rang true
The reason why being something of a riddle

I’ve hit a moment in time where it’s starting to click
A prophecy disguised in the subliminal
Therapy’s teaching me all of the tricks
A hidden passageway unlocked with this key
Maybe this is the path towards a different destiny

So I’m addicted to a person
Or the idea of a person
Or the idea of a life I could have with this person
Or the way this idea of a life I could have with this person makes me feel
Of how this person makes me feel
Or all of the above

But how fine is the line between addiction and love
Or maybe it’s a question of what is real
And what is just a dream of the ideal
Whatever it is, I can’t shake this person
Or I’m not trying hard enough to break away from this person
Or the universe won’t let me escape this person

I’ve always believed in soul mates
But two souls bound isn’t the same as two fates
I guess that’s the hook with star crossed lovers
Greek tragedies pluck the heartstrings like no other
