Unititled 5

 Sometimes I find myself back at the start

laying on a slide in a playground at dark
The transition to autumn brings a chill to the bone
But warmth from your embrace makes me feel at home
Though we didnt know each other long you brought a connect
And to me everything that was you was perfect
But it wasnt fair to anyone to put you on a pedestal
And the fear of losing what I thought was pure proved to be regrettable
I squeezed the air out of what life we had
And you turned away not saying a word of how you felt and why
As my walls of comfort are being torn apart
You speak, "all you need is love" while you break my heart
I'm still not sure what you meant
But just know to suffocate you was my never my intent
How come love was was all I needed while I thought that I did
Maybe you just never knew, or felt to the extent that I did
How could I know for sure when weve sat in silence
Your feelings are locked in a chest that is your heart
I could never hate the person I saw at the start
Whether or not that's still you, you're a light to whoever knows you
And maybe I was a dark point just passing through
I've accepted that you've chosen to forget 

Asymptotes

 What a blessing it is to get closer and closer

Yet doomed to infitinely never truly be together
Maybe we are asymptotes, tangential to each other
2 hands reaching but never touching
The distance seemingly small, but between us always something 

What would i say...

What if we bumped into each other on the street

Would there be animosity when our eyes meet

Would we ignore each others presence in silence like the last time
Or throw accusations about who committed the crime
Would it soften the blow if I said there hadn't been
A single day where I hadn't thought about it since then
Its overdue for any other apologies, what is has been long done
But the healing of the wound is inevitable just like the set and rise of the sun
Whether in a day, a week, or even 10 years
What would you say if you were really here
What would I say...
