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
