you said, “we should think about this….”
cos, it’s all wrong
this thing, we’re doing with each other
and that it is
this should mean less
than what it does right now
but why does it feel like more?
why does it feel like everything
and nothing at the same time
why does this make me feel like me for the first time?
Stolen moments, in the darkness,
where we can be who we really are, for a second
will I feel the same if they were not? stolen?
and you and I were
just two ordinary people, being happy with each other
or will normality mean
we would have to deal with
each other for a much longer time, out there in the light
where ordinary things happen…
and then, will we lose the words?
the yearning?
the torment?
the love?
and be forced to be other than who we are with each other?
You’re right “we should think about this….”
