just enough pathos

Now and then, in the middle of everything

My heart aches so hard,

I have to get up and go

To the bathroom – sit down, and breathe.

If you are my habit, I love it and I don’t really

Know how to embark on this ship alone

Without you to come back to –

Without you to hold close to me, and sleep the sweet sleep

I have been trying to avoid these thoughts

I have been staying up nights to not hold you too close

Because I don’t know if I can manage without you

Everyone says, and you do too

That it’s going to be good for us

But I didn’t want adventures without your hands clasping mine

Your breath on my skin

Your sky above mine.
