Never have I rested so comfortably upon the thought of another person's face who is not family
Who is not fruit of the earth upon which my mother gave birth to me
That instead belongs to foreign lands I have long dreamed of
On a day I know you'll be thinking of me least
Everything feels like it wants to clash together today
And I hear you everywhere

The pressure and this cold in my chest
This is something I can't say
So many things
All these thoughts weighing me
A pressure I try to be transparent to
So it finds it's way inside me
A plane turned to a triangle caved piercing my insides

Why did I suddenly end up running into him today?
Why couldn't I stop thinking of you this morning?
Why is everything clashing together today?
What will be left for tomorrow?

I don't understand, I don't understand,
but I'm learning to love you day by day.
I don't understand
but I'm forging happiness sooner each day.

My heart is made of glass but
I've mastered levitation
The pieces are still held together
With every jab on every side
I feel like God is handing me life on a platter
And I only realize it's edible once it spoils
But I haven't yet figured out how to eat it.
And I wonder if I ever will.

I don't want to lose you,
that is my foremost thought today.
I don't want to lose that smile
That I will now close my eyes and rest upon.
