I – I don’t know how
I’d go
If – if it wasn’t for you
because
you –
you seem to be my other
half; have been for years and
tic – tick tock here goes the clock
clock clock – clocks ticking faster than we can count
until
I – I turn the light on –
on blinding - blinding

because it’s getting light out too and there’s
still – still not enough time
never is.

And the bus and the book and
the pond and the geese and
the snow and the scarves and
breaking and fixing
So…
so now we’re
too – too far for description we transcend we’re
ev – everything
and beyond so
there are there – there aren’t
still aren’t words
for us I guess
once there were but not since you’ve become
my – my other
half something like… everything, and
you know it but I always need
to – to tell you that
we’re we are
we
and it shows I think because
you – you
me us we
we transcend words.
