I've met people I didn't think were human
and I've broken the human in me trying to figure them out

what to expect
you walk in the same and I think it'll be different
my heart knows
it always knows
-

I wasn't even looking and yet...
I still get hurt
-

you're shocking
unreal for this reality I'm living
but you're taking your time
and I'm taking mine;

we are clockwork ticking away together, in the company of sour patch kids and m&m's fallen through the crevices of the couch

as you progress through my bones I become stronger
as you progress through my lungs I breathe harder
as you progress through my skin I become softer

there is one person you can trust.

it's you,

that you'll stick by your side

no promises to break

no

you remind me of my future*
keep me in today, with you in your presence
it takes the smallest touch
the biggest smile
confident eyes; they know they like what they see
and they search deep into my soul, dive into the deep end of my heart
shredding love like water
you don't need to breathe underwater

he's taking it slow because he knows good things take time
