i face forth for
the meadow in the eve
the sullen breeze of
everything i could be
and everything i am now
in these moments where
everything turns and flips
and we’re breaking blue
like mountains in the distance
the curve of
your spine against mine
how we’re back from
everything we thought
and everything we were
and somehow it all
comes back to black
where i’m fading in and out
trying to see what stayed
and i see you here
where we leave this song
still singing a tune
i knew all too well
like flowers in the distance
calling for me
to fade into how i feel
while every emotion blurs
and the lines begin to break
i face forward
to turn at this light
and the light keeps flashing
like it knows something i don’t
we’re missing
and i’m running from here
through the movement of this song
through the words
we leave each other in
through the way i used to melt
before i knew
how far i could go
but i’ve gone too far
past the holes in the floor
past the places
we kept falling through
we’ve melted beyond these
and i run into
leaves where the grass
isn’t greener
but somehow
it feels ever so nice
like the feeling of softness
against tired hands
like flowers opening
without needing to be seen
like velvet
like warmth
like everything i knew i wanted
before i ever knew
what it would feel like
and maybe that’s the strange part
when something stands
right in front of you
soft enough to hold
real enough to stay
you realize
how accustomed you became
to wanting what was leaving
maybe we’re not so used
to being given something
we don’t have to chase
