on another day,
I would love you more
but we’re so busy
and all I want
is to be powerful
in your mind
I want to be enormous
and I want you
to say to yourself
what a life worth living
what a love worth taking
but we’re so proudand reluctant to admit
how vulnerable we are
how scared of stepping out
of our houses
of our routine days
on another day
I would touch you softly
I would whisper
all the words connected
to everything you are
on another day
you might know the answers
to my prying questions
but today we’re hiding
in the details of our duties
and the complexity
of the things above us
make us smaller than we really are
and our fears smother
all the things we long for
all the beauties
that exist inside us
on another day
I would believe
a little bit stronger
and you would speak
a little bit louder
and we will be
all together bigger
in all the lines
drawing out our images
will merge twisted
on another day
