Two worlds

With every word that passes through the crack of his lips, I adjust to the fact that the world is truly immense.
And while some bodies and souls roam the earth in absolute abandon, some seem to be rather content living out their little fantasies in their heads. 
But to cross all the oceans that might come between us, for I have not counted, is no fantasy of mine. 
It’s not even a dream, but more like the only thing I see. 

From the one who showed me a lighthouse, atop which I realised how simple life could be or even love for that matter, he became the lighthouse. 
I used to wander occasionally, feeling my way through the dark corners, looking for some sign of life. Oftentimes, I would find none. 
And that is where I found him - struggling to find meaning. Struggling to find a spot of peace. And in that moment I knew that this love may not last the conventionally accepted ‘lifetime’ but it would be enough for me, for my forever. 

It was indeed uncomplicated.

Two worlds collided. Two different worlds, different landscapes, and colours. And yet, those two worlds grew tendrils to hold on to each other. Found a way to make things work. Found balance in their differences. Found love in their conflicts. And found each other. For their forever.

Would you?


Say we met tomorrow for the first time 
And you ask, "So, what's broken?" 
And I say, "Everything." 
And that I am running away from my self, really 
And this place is not for me, and yet I am here 
Like I usually do - turn up at the wrong place every single time 

And that I have dark places 
That I slip into every now and then 
And I can rarely put those thoughts into words
But they eat me up whole
But I never give up fighting. And probably never will
Would you still ask me out for that dance we haven't danced in a while? 

Say we met today for the last time 
And you ask, "What really went wrong?" 
And I say, "Nothing."
But that all I ever really wanted 
Was for us to be on the same page at the same time 
Would you still ask me out for that dance we haven't danced in a while?
