Read Me

Finding words was easy
We've been on the same page since moment one
We met in the center of the book
To avoid you was impossible
To feel a disconnect was impossible
To ignore you was impossible

We were made to sit on that bench that day

You stuck out like a dog eared page
On the warm first of September,
the light first of September
In the solitude of my summer,
the margins of my misery
Somehow you started a new chapter

You were unexpected

How long is the duration of this conversation?
It's been three weeks that have stretched like three years

You read me like a book
Speak my thoughts like script and poetry
Pick the important parts first
And my endless library feels finite with you inside

Hold carefully the spine of me
I'll reverently underline
The parts of you I want to remember
Until all of you is chosen
All of you is important

I feel I know you
Better than I do
There lies the danger

Throw caution to the wind as I come unbound
I won't keep secrets
I can't be anything but open for you
This open book to read

My hand over your hand
over a pen pressed to a blank page
We're in this together, somehow
Let's write this one together now
