sometimes you just can't know how much someone means to you.

(inspired from carole king's "you've got a friend")

"she'll come runnin' "

 

sometimes she musters 

up the courage to

swallow what eats her

alive.

on other occasions, she

spits it out and 

embraces what is 

there.

it can be

easy she knows, but

she asks questions

often.

she knows if anything 

were to separate the

two beings, the glass would

shatter and the castle could

crumble.

uno, dos, tres anos have been

theirs. time may have them

traveling in different

directions, one towards the 

moon, the other to the 

sun.

at midday they meet and come

alive. they run the same route and

teach one another to 

fly forgetting about what the ticking

clock may have for

them.

"you look pretty in your dress,"

he says.

she smiles and rests her head on his

shoulder.

maybe he'll change his

mind and stay for

awhile.
