rare feelings
between the lines

when all solutions in the world have failed
I still have you at my fingertips
I’m scared to touch you as you might not like it
my attitude, my voice, my sadness
though I’ve felt you so many times
your attachment, detachment, and all these ways
between the lines
when all the moods are swaying among our chairs
one side of me sits alone
while the other steals furtive glances, amazed;
what did you do to me? I keep asking
not knowing where to start;
if I told you all this
I think it could be a story to fill out
many lives
and you wouldn’t believe me anyway
that everything you ever say
every moment of our short life
soothes my soul, just like that;
I think I fell in love with your voice
and as usual without finding an answer
I’m drowning in so many conflicting feelings
still unable to stay or leave, just constantly swaying
between the lines
