Listening to: Jimmy Eat World.
Here, let's sit on the radiator and pop balloons,
hide these moments in our pockets so we can
examine them later, when everything is done.
Let's pretend we don't know that they know
that we know
because we don't, not really.
Here, let's write each other all the letters
neither of us have ever gotten.
Let's read them in silence, sitting backwards in chairs
and maybe we can forget to breathe every once in a while
so none of this makes sense.
I'll trace your font and unwrap your scent
if you'll close your eyes and call me across that ocean
I cannot cross, as if these fault lines were borders
and we were stuck in our squares.
So here, let's shed our skin and dissolve into these waves as they roll.
Drive to the beach. I'll wait for your signal
before taking my shoes off and stepping into
the sand.
We will drown here, our little mouths choosing
familiarity over life, and maybe
this is my largest fault.
Because this is what I have become:
jellybeans scattered across a tiled bedroom floor,
naming all the colors.
I am forever blue, you are always yellow,
but together we are simply green.
