(You're the first one
since the last one
that i've got a good feeling about
and now I know
how it is
so let's just go slow on this one)
Your heart multivocal
I'll wait, listening
you can talk at me
give your loneliness away
the pen's in your hand now
so write me a purple ending
warmer, softer even than the last
one wrote before
I don't want to take you home
I just want to collide by accident
and say I'm happy I met you
The writing on the wall says "I'm sorry for everything"
You have nothing to be sorry for.
I know you can't come with me, but
maybe someday, I'll go with you
into the waves, into the moonlit shallows
a touch, a breath, a nervous quiver, yes
we've been here before
alone but now together.
