dit moi

what are you afraid of darling?
don't burn them bridges,
ignite yourself instead,
with the fire that you tried to cover.
can't help that i'm so extreme.
swinging from one end to another,
i suddenly remember, such different days,
where i wore my heart on my sleeves,
and said, i love you, drenched and anxious.
letters of open hearts, led one to a foreign land.
parallel universes exist, but we're meant to be,
exactly where we are standing right now.
right here, right on this spot that we're occupying.
for there wouldn't have been a field across the pond,
where we kissed those innocent days goodbye -
in frocks and words, surrounded by your guitar chords.
a new dawn came after those balmy summer nights.
stability calls for a shelter, the timing was perfect.
but did you start to feel trapped, by digging your own hole.
it went deeper and deeper, until we lost sight of the surface.
the pipes broke and all hell went loose -
concentrated energies targeted at the creation of a portal.
as the air got sucked in, one breath was left for seduction.
a slow and unexpected one, every single bit delicious.
and you were starting to think, this is part of growing up.
brother, this valuable lesson has taught me how to love myself.
miss independence entered the room, sparkles and dandy.
to give was the shot of the era, until he who had more to give arrived.
good fortune followed, but something was missing.
lack of commitment, lack of seriousness.
perhaps it's for the best.
but then a tall glass of tenderly affection poured itself.
the melted ice are still hanging, while kindred spirits roam free.

parallel universes exist, but we're meant to be,
exactly where we are standing right now.
right here, right on this spot that we're occupying.
for there wouldn't be a bright flickering light,
whispering "love is within you. always been there".

dit moi, aren't we blessed to be free?
