I’m thinking it’s a maybe
And that’s what worries me
You’ve fallen so far, at least that’s what it seems
While I’m just sitting here caught in between
You being a lover and the best of friends
*
You see, my mind doesn’t evaporate when you cross my line of sight
And
Your touch doesn’t turn the air around me completely white
The bubble around me is left unbroken
Either you’re already a part of it
Or I never let you in
*
Being in your company doesn’t feel like I was blinded and just discovered the sun
But you see, I know that things like that once were and once more could be
But maybe the carpet is simply running too fast beneath our feet
We’re caught and accelerating despite the clear warning
That only slowing down will help us survive
I’m burning down and whether it’s you or the sun
What we really need to do is slow down
One
F*cking
Minute
To sort it all out
This is not the drowning I had in mind
*
As I feel your energy, my body sinks to blue and indigo ponds
Green grass fields
But with a minute of peace
All I see is the thick cover you put over me
Reassuring yet suffocating
And all I can think is “too fast, too fast”
