please don't put yourself back
into that distant hole again.
you are supposed to be staring up at the open sky.
like i do. i stare,
and i wait
and the clouds, they pass
they move so quickly
over the streets dusted with snow.
it's night now
and i wait
by your streetlight
and i know you can feel me
come on, run outside and see me
we could be so beautiful together
out under those stars
shh, don't
don't say a word
let's go,
let's run through the icy fields
or drive to the movies
or fly to seattle and kiss in the rain
or collapse in the desert on sharp rocks that cut us
and sand that's made of meteors licks our cheeks and eyes.
this atmosphere is burning
can't you see it?
i'm holding your hand, can't you feel it?
i am here, i'm always here
if you want me.
if you would just touch me,
put your hand
on mine.
if you would press up against me
against foggy windows and walls and doors
and let me tell you all the things i've been meaning to
in this light we could stay this color forever.
golden afternoons will hold us
in their glittering silky snowy arms.
if you would just come to me.
please come to me.
ugh. this is becoming some sort of series.

it's beautiful. perfectly captures how it feels to be so desperate to love and fix someone, but to not be able to. :heart:
