When we fly, you take me higher and further.<\/p>\n
We have sat close and visited the past,<\/p>\n
maintaining eye contact through the laughter and the tears.<\/p>\n
To share the names of my demons, to let you see them and know them, by name.<\/p>\n
Halfway there, and you wake up from an awkward nap,<\/p>\n
we pull out a crystal ball and predict the future, the whole time, you repeat<\/p>\n
you and me<\/p>\n
you and me<\/p>\n
you and me.<\/p>\n
When we reorient ourselves, the stars are a blanket of protection softened by clouds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been this close to heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
you smile, give me one of \u201cthose\u201d looks, and lower your eyes until we both can\u2019t want to land.<\/p>\n
