And stuff my words
Into slim-necked bottles
And throw them into the ocean
So they meet you on your shore
The waves,
They’d move a lot faster than we did,
That’s for sure
Sometimes,
I think about how
Your heart beats
Two time zones ahead of mine
And I never quite understood
The girl who sang about how she would
Walk a thousand miles
For someone
To want to bridge that distance
For anyone
A foreign concept,
That I never knew before I knew you,
That’s for sure
These thoughts,
They cross my mind
Not all the time
Not none of the time
But the sum
Of these times,
They add up to
a lot of my time,
Sometimes.
