Finding you everywhere I go

itting beside you here in the cold of the night

your gaze follows mine

but i have already left you behind

your obedient fingers mindlessly wander trying to bring me back,

but my mind doesn't know how to linger at the doorway, doesn't know how to sit in one room. so it goes off...

and i will find you in-

the girl skating on thin ice like the swan swimming on the lake made with her tears, the man in the airport lounge who left his crimson scarf with his initials on it like the start of some sappy movie, the person on the other side of the counter buying cheap wine and chocolates right before valentine's. I will find you in all the lives that have been lived and that you could've lived. pouring your soul into each of those moulds so you can live a thousand lifetimes in this one. thinking about the boy who slow danced in my storm and blamed the destruction on the weather.

so, don't wait for me to be there

with you

because i will be here

turning you into a lore,

collecting tokens of love

waiting to toss some

when your fountain of wishes runs dry
