Foreseeyou said
why does it take so long to be
night time?
i never thought it would take so long
to get dark
and you were waiting for
the kiss
the confession
the surprise
the aching
denial
the aching
desire
say
a fire comes
and
takes us
say
we just didn't know
it would be
like
this
we didn't know it could be
let it be
let it go
you grasp hands full of
sand
let it fall between your toes
if i win the lottery
i will have a house
on skinny legs which
always threatens
to fall
into the ocean
and
it has
a winding staircase
which
falls down
into the ocean
and
every morning
every time
i wake up with you
climbing
with me
down
into the ocean
then
it's night time
coming
dark
like i always knew
it could
be
