Petrichor

I've been thinking about the space You leave in the linens The sound the bedsheets make When you're not there to fill them But if I look long enough I see the currents in your company Your limbs swim with an undertow And the light's too low to let it go The way you dance around me on your toes Your pockets full of all of the moments that we stole Do I underestimate life's ability to prorate wanderlust? Darling, can you see the sun in the space we've made to live in? (Honestly) But for the first time now Forever is a possibility And wearing nothing but a whisky coke We're both too scared to let it show That there are waves in you I can't help you dam The movements I'll never understand You can't keep my peace, I can't start your war There's only so much life that we can ignore The cold might come to claim beauty we can't name Keep what we cultivate in a picture frame It will never grow, It will never change I won't hold the chain that keeps you in the bay So we just dance around it on our toes The fear our frame won't handle the weight of the unknown So let us look chance in the eye Be resolute in knowing You can love every single seed and lose your garden to the seasons We are nothing if not persistent darling We are nothing if not the sum of the people that we love
