They say misery loves company That two souls tired to their bones Still prefer not to be alone
When a morning stretch Sounds more like a morning creak The path towards home still has Four, instead of two, feet
Skin scorching under the merciless sun And the day has barely just begun It’s better when ten fingers innertwine The feel of another heart beat surviving Right next to mine
Strung up high in the midnight sky The moon dances through the windows Sleep chases me and my eyes comply So long as you lie next to me, kissing me good night
As the raindrops pebble above our shared umbrella Laughter bubbles at the surface, ready to spill over Our toes are surely still wet from traipsing through puddles But I hardly notice, I’m entranced by this stranger I’ve just barely met Electricity zings where our shoulders meet She looks up at me with perfect hazel greens Framed by dark Lucious lashes I can’t help it, my breath catches A thousand ‘what ifs’ dance between our eyes She says to me “thanks for the reprieve, but this has to be goodbye” The memory still haunts me at night I wanted to call her mine Maybe in another life
