sometimes i wish
i could pull you close.
sometimes i wish i could push you away.
sometimes i wish
i could hug you once more.
sometimes i wish you'd be on your way.
sometimes i wish
i could kiss you lips,
sometimes i do not.
sometimes i wish
i could keep you all for me, safe in a box.
that's when i realized you don't need me.
sometimes that's what it takes to realize
love can't be shoved into a box.
love is an animal, just like our hearts.
and that's why our ribs are called cages.
