I have dreamt so much of you
I sometimes wonder if you'll ever be real
Realities have become distant cousins
journeying the mazy waters of insignificance
while the tenacity of memory keeps leaving notes
I can't just go on dwelling in its palaces forever
But even as I stumble into the solitudes of solicitude
gasping, clutching at straws of passion's vocabulary
all I can muster is a mellow cadence
When I love you
I am weightless
like a hyphen that shores up floundering thoughts
When I love you
I am pastless
like a staccato nestled into a slithering symphony
I have fallen so deep into you
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be found
Days have become unrelenting landmines
navigating the slippery slopes of restraint
while the brutality of reason keeps slipping clues
I can't just go on toeing lines forever
But even as I slump against cold, whitewashed walls
sliding, descending into the blankness of silence
all I can forge is a watery melody
When I love you
I am defenceless
like open terraces against an impending sunrise
When I love you
I am endless
like a little boy's shout into the sea
I sometimes wonder if you'll ever be real
Realities have become distant cousins
journeying the mazy waters of insignificance
while the tenacity of memory keeps leaving notes
I can't just go on dwelling in its palaces forever
But even as I stumble into the solitudes of solicitude
gasping, clutching at straws of passion's vocabulary
all I can muster is a mellow cadence
When I love you
I am weightless
like a hyphen that shores up floundering thoughts
When I love you
I am pastless
like a staccato nestled into a slithering symphony
I have fallen so deep into you
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever be found
Days have become unrelenting landmines
navigating the slippery slopes of restraint
while the brutality of reason keeps slipping clues
I can't just go on toeing lines forever
But even as I slump against cold, whitewashed walls
sliding, descending into the blankness of silence
all I can forge is a watery melody
When I love you
I am defenceless
like open terraces against an impending sunrise
When I love you
I am endless
like a little boy's shout into the sea
