Don't Push

Its hard to see yourself
fall
into the same patterns

but its easier to let yourself
do
instead of
don't

I want the simplicity of us when we looked up at the stars.
My head was in your lap, we could see for miles.
I shouldn't have blinked.
as quickly as you came, you were gone.


more than just something I could measure in tears
heartache for days
wondering
what if?
why?

here we are, now
its like an encore performance of us
and i'm asking for my next line
because I don't have the slightest clue
what it could be

ask me what its like
to fall asleep in his arms
i'll tell you

who needs a pillow
when I have your chest

no idea
how you might feel
if this is all in my head
or if I make you sad

like you do me

its easiest to write about you
in short lines
because i can't shake this inkling
that our time will be short
but you will always leave something behind
