time is like a bullet from behind
I run for cover just like you
time is like a liquid in my hands
I swim for dry land just like you
time is like a blanket on my face
I try to be here just like you
time is just a fiction of our minds
I will survive and so will you
we are the only ones right now that are celebrating
and we are joining hands right now
we are the only ones right now that are suffocating
we are the dying ones right now
as the water grinds the stone
we rise and fall
as our ashes turn to dust
we shine like stars
kisses on the dance floor in my past
I need some comfort just like you
beating like a bass drum time goes by
I want the last dance just like you
drowning in the flood of morning light
I'm only human just like you
do you hear the city waking up
I will survive and so will you
we are the ones the only ones
we are the ones the dying ones
we are the ones the only ones
we are the ones and we are joining hands
we are the only ones right now that are celebrating
as the water grinds the stone
we rise and fall
as our ashes turn to dust
we shine like stars
So many feelings.
Longing. Aching. Needing. Wanting. Trapped. Fearful. Isolated. Surrounded. Awe. Excited. Nervous. Desire. Accomplishment. Love. Dissatisfaction. Anticipation.
...I want the last dance to be with you.
7:01pm
On my way home from work, I saw lights. Bright lights near the underpass by the railway tracks.
A ferris wheel! Rides! Excitement!
And, my night began. I climbed aboard the Octopus she squealed alongside my screams.
It was awesome.
We twisted and twirled and spun around and around! The lights glowing around us and we rose and fell, spinning all the while.
Then, a dagwood dog.
Later tonight, socks, friends and fun.
Twenty-four, you've been an interesting year. Highs and lows a plenty. The highest of highs and some earth shaking lows. This, is your farewell. For the most part, the memories I'm going to hold on to have been the fun ones. The dancing, the friends, my family, the sea slug day of awesomeness, the ekka, discovering, exploring, flying, falling in love, more dancing, laughter, rides and silver linings.
how was your night??
I was sad when I turned 25 because 24 was such an amazing year.
And now I'm 26. Ugh.
