we settled into this life

About a certain feeling you get as time passes in a certain way.

i felt the breeze through my hair

as we moved with the crowd

Shuffling morning spread us out

between the posts we occupy

Work eats time in a different way

and I wanted more from every day

than just becoming one day older

than just pretending 

I felt the hope in your voice

as we spoke through every night

How it takes us far apart

within the rooms we occupy

We pass the pieces back and forth

through days and acts devouring

We think that's what it means

to be alive.

I felt the breeze through my hair

as a whisper from another you

Something deep within a world

that's somehow hidden from me.

we settled deep into this space

and found we cannot hold each place

we cannot keep them far apart

or protect them.
