the earth spins on its axis at 23.5 degrees
and at the same time
it also orbits the sun
it is called a revolution

i seek to find a revolution in you
in us

you can’t convince me
time is linear
you can’t say things like
there is no us anymore

there are hills in you and i am on them

we are celestial beings
rotating
revolving
transcending time

“please” i said. “i can change”.

but you tell me we are not the answer
to each other’s issues
you tell me that
we need to be selfish now
to be selfless later

you will remember how it feels to live without me
and i will realise
i am addicted
to you
