It’s hard to be a human being

An unsustainable amount of energy

Sometimes genius flows through my head

At that age

There is green all around us.

Everywhere.

The ground, the trees.

Sometimes our pockets

No blues anywhere but the sky

Reflecting off of your marvelous eyes.

Fall asleep on my shoulder as I read you a story

Let me take you on a journey.

*This is our lives on high*

Come follow me

I have some thing to show you

You chase my braids and cut off jeans from a field onto a deserted highway

Aviators to cover up my brown eyes.

*These are our days*

The feeling of imminent pure, raw, happiness flushes through our skin

Like niacin.

Feel it in every pore

and into the core of your very being.

My heart skips many beats

Spinning in circles and staring up directly into the sun

Like a plant. A fucking plant.

*This is our lives on high.*

The warm breeze creeps through my cropped button down blouse

And through my loose braids

I feel it in every inch of my being.

*I feel, I breathe, like a living thing.*

The breeze scuffs my skin on my arm ever so lightly

but the effects are deeper than you had ever imagined they would be.

Please don’t let this stop.

Let’s stay like this forever.

Here…in this place.

I breathe in, you breathe out.

I absorb,

I absorb,

I absorb you and the air

The air.

…

The air.

You can’t make Earth cleaner but you can breathe deep

And absorb my deep sigh.

My smile never waivers.

Your smile is so magnificent

I’m in love with this feeling of pure joy.

Please, please don’t let this moment end.

Please, God.

Let this utter shell shock last forever.

Forever.

Even as I grow old and weary…

I fear it, but I know it will come of me one day.

Let this moment last forever.

Let this moment last forever.

Let this moment last forever.

Please God, let this blissful moment last forever.

And as I lay on my death bed…old and dying.

Let this moment last forever.

Let this moment last forever.

Please God let this moment last forever.

And when the sun goes down

And I’m lying awake alone in my bed

Afraid to close my eyes because of that “bright dream that I have with you.”

Let this moment last forever

Let this moment last forever

Let this moment last forever

Please God, let this moment last forever.

I close my eyes,

You’re standing there next to your baby blue sedan.

Waiting for what seems like an eternity for me.

I sigh a breath of relief and break a smile.

Because in Heaven everything is fine.

In this blissful Heaven,

Everything’s Alright.

“And as long as you’re gone, I can’t apologize

For all the things that I haven’t said and done.”-MM
