there will come a time
where you’ll love so hard
that you’ll come home before dark
you’ll call on lunch breaks
you’ll be late just to snuggle a bit longer
you’ll take a day off to relax
you’ll cease to lust over a screen
you’ll maintenance her car before it breaks
you’ll have a hand to hold in church
you won’t feel trapped
you’ll bring home little gifts
you’ll fix things without being asked
you’ll look forward to starting a family
you’ll be excited to buy a ring
you’ll open up
you’ll be vulnerable
you won’t shut down
and it won't be with me
because our nervous systems collide
like two ships in the night
and the bough had already broke
when i pushed you too hard
in the wrong direction
