Wrote this while listening to Video Games by Lana Del Rey xx

there are 7 billion people in the world
covering the ground,
occupying the sky,
swimming in the oceans,
riding on the rivers....
but i choose you.
soon enough, everyone will all pair off
they’ll all live in worlds of each other,
tucked away in little houses of love
but i don’t need those clichés to love you.
we can tread the roads alone
in the cold,
while everyone else is locked inside forever,
eternal fires either warming their hands
or burning them.
but i find heat in you,
your eyes spark like a copper cord
and i hold myself close.
please, just grasp my hand
like i tightly grasp the idea of love,
but i’m about to fall off.
so please just hold on a little longer,
until we reach home.
