Short Synchronicity

This would have been posted earlier today had my computer at work not crashed right before I was finished submitting it.
Anyway, this is just my way of saying thank you to a friend that I spent some time with last night.

There is a story behind this (aside from the obvious quick building friendship).
I was waiting for my friend to finish doing what they had to do and I wrote this along with another poem.
They apologized repeatedly for leaving me alone so long and all I could say in return was "Thank you".
Had I been at home or anywhere else I most certainly would not have written this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that you’re leaving soon
And I can deal with that given enough time
But what will I do without you to bring me back down to Earth daily?
You’re the closest companion that I’ve made in a while
But honestly you’re the one that made me
Under your command I’m ready to fight for you
Give me the signal, fire a flare
The sparks still aren’t half as bright as you are
I speak so highly of you because your affection and reflection never ends
And you just can’t medicate that kind of addiction
You’ve grown so much in the short time that I’ve known you

When was the last time somebody looked at you
as if their day just got better as soon as you arrived?
You could hear the smile on their face as they called out to you
You make my day go by faster, even though all I want to do is take it slow
You’re so good that I can’t figure out what I’d do without you
Don’t give me even a second to consider the possibility
We’re just counting the days now that everything feels so near
Tell me what our chemistry has taught us
When did we get so deep?
Talking with you gets me farther than walking ever could

Throw me a line or better yet don’t say anything at all
I’ve read your body language many times before and this time is no different
Your eyes say all that’s on the tip of your tongue
I know that you’re leaving now
You’ve got some nerve to come here while I’m down on the floor
Instead of picking me up, you decide lay low with me
I appreciate your patience with me and your company equally

We can’t retrace the steps we’ve taken to get here
I’ve held on to my ways and I don’t want to regret this days from now
The breaths escaping me offer no air worth taking
And no release has ever held me tighter than yours
Timing is everything as is every moment that follows
So I’ll follow you my friend
At least we won’t be apart tonight



There's Something Here

I couldn't sleep until I finished writing this poem.
*Smiles* Some things are worth losing sleep over, I'd like to think that this was one of them.

"Young Love was meant to be untamed..." - Gavin DeGraw
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To this very day
I never knew that I was surrounded in such a way
I try not to lose my head because you’re no threat to my every day
It’s nothing short of a modern miracle that you found me when you did
Don’t let me go another day without you

When we give way to honesty in its rarest form
You don’t have to question a thing
The best way to say this is without any words at all
And oddly enough I still feel like I’ve said too much
But too much isn’t half enough any more
I pray that I’ll never finish and that you’ll never grow tired of this

You can’t medicate this kind of addiction
Such intimate friction never felt so good
As soon as one falls, all the rest must give way
To the powers that be inside of you and me
Step one is always the hardest
Never knowing what will happen next
Like a fire cracker set to go off

Once more my mind wanders where my heart yearns to go
If this feeling is so natural than why are we fighting the feeling?
What don’t we get yet as we watch these sparks fly?
With your love so near I can’t quite tell how much time has come and gone
There’s something here my dear, if you’d care to look on with me

When we see eye to eye
Don’t let me go until you know
What you are, I am and what I know now can’t wait to escape to you
Don’t run, let me come closer
There’s something here I believe, do you?
