Caught Up in Daylight

Mulling the ground afloat.

lost love is still love, eddie. it takes a different form, that’s all. you can’t see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. but when those senses weaken, another heightens. memory. memory becomes your partner. you nurture it. you hold it. you dance with it.

Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost.

—Milan Kundera

“I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.”
—Anaïs Nin

And I want to wake up with the rain 
Falling on a tin roof 
While I’m safe there in your arms 
So all I ask is for you 
To come away with me in the night 
Come away with me

In my tiny heart, I keep ginormous memories with people that are special to me. Here are two of the things that I have received during the week. It isn’t my birthday. It isn’t Christmas yet. These are just wonderful, sweet nothings—that I surely will treasure forever.

—Nothing Lasts Forever

It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know
I love you but I’m letting go
It may not last but I don’t know
Just don’t know

If you don’t know
Then you can’t care
And you show up
But you’re not there
But I’m waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

A bed that’s warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
But misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
I’ll never let it fall apart
Strangely I wish secretly
It would fall down while I’m asleep

Though we have not hit the ground
It doesn’t mean we’re not still falling,
Oh I want so bad to pick you up
But you’re still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains
