#ithappened
and here in my past week
an entire universe has been modified and shifted
it's all still vaguely familiar though
i remember all the pathways like the back of my hand
you see,
no matter how often i fight myself on this
and no matter how often i stare at that map, seeking a different way
they have all led back to you
so to think that maybe we were both a bit timid at first
ignites a warm fire
these flames that lace my nerves
electrify and superimpose onto a neon background
and they fill this empty bed when i feel weightless
you called a name
and it took me a moment
to comprehend
that it was mine
you told me
that i had exceptionally dark eyes
and asked if i knew how to dance
if only you knew that meeting you
was an event for the books
a milestone, in fact
little moments replay
on this continuous loop
that i wouldn't dare take any bribe to stop watching
exchanges that one would normally dismiss
or not think anything of
are so
so
significant to me
little memories have this habit of whispering,
"hey. i happened."
i listen for your song
time and time again
and never before have i wanted there to be silence so bad
