We are in a movie
Two actors smiling
Like they’re in love and
Swearing that they’re not
You are reading the script
And I am begging to see
The last words of it
Does it all come down to
‘Goodbye’ or ‘I love you’
Maybe both, maybe silence
❀
We are in a song
Two voices harmonizing
Singing about romance but
Promising the lyrics aren’t
Based on any truths
You’re strumming the guitar
And I’m hoping the bridge
Offers the kind of hope
The chorus couldn’t
❀
We are in a dance
Arms tangled, fingers locked, toes tapping
Following the kind of steps
We’re too scared to ignore
You’re focused on the footwork
And I’m begging you to spin me
Under your arm and pull me closer
But that’s not what the instructions say
❀
We are in a poem
The kind that sound like this one
You’re doing who knows what
And I’m writing this, hoping
One day you’ll read it and
Change the ending
