I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
