The feeling when I jump off the riverbed and for one brief moment I am weightless, suspended before I submerge into the water When I’m about to open a door to a friends house filled with people. The world goes silent while I reach for the doorknob The pause I take before I’m about to say something that will change everything The moment when I see someone I love who I haven’t seen for a long time When I realize I’m about to achieve something I’ve worked so hard for When I have to make a decision between two different paths When I know I’m approaching the time to choose, but I walk between the two One foot in each possible decision for a long time Relishing in my indecision The moment when tears well in my eyelids, the pause before they fall down my cheeks They don’t fall until I let them The time that passes between when you realize they don’t love you anymore, but they haven’t told you yet When I’m about to bite into my favourite decadent cake, one satisfying bite dances in front of my lips before I devour. When you can taste it before you’ve even started The pause between when I turn on the shower and the water actually starts falling onto my skin Consciously living between who I am and who I see I can be She’s so clear in my mind The moment I reach for someone’s hand The coat I have for in between seasons When I receive bad news And I feel nothing Before I feel everything

In Between
The feeling when I jump off the riverbed and for one brief moment I am weightless, suspended before I submerge into the water When I’m about to open a door to a friends house filled with people. The world goes silent while I reach for the doorknob The pause I take before I’m about to say something that will change everything The moment when I see someone I love who I haven’t seen for a long time When I realize I’m about to achieve something I’ve worked so hard for When I have to make a decision between two different paths When I know I’m approaching the time to choose, but I walk between the two One foot in each possible decision for a long time Relishing in my indecision The moment when tears well in my eyelids, the pause before they fall down my cheeks They don’t fall until I let them The time that passes between when you realize they don’t love you anymore, but they haven’t told you yet When I’m about to bite into my favourite decadent cake, one satisfying bite dances in front of my lips before I devour. When you can taste it before you’ve even started The pause between when I turn on the shower and the water actually starts falling onto my skin Consciously living between who I am and who I see I can be She’s so clear in my mind The moment I reach for someone’s hand The coat I have for in between seasons When I receive bad news And I feel nothing Before I feel everything
