Chaos!

They pulled our names out of a hat and when be broke down crying in the parking lot I wondered if I was making a mistake. Through the glass wall that seperates us, you look so sad at night. And I imagine that I am what you need but realize that's crazy. I called my therapist yesterday in a panic. I said, "What if the sky falls again?" and she said "well, what if you fall in love?" When you're around I don't know how to hide my feelings. I count in binary, in my head. Zero one, one zero, one one.. and you count clouds. Yes, I believe in love, yes, I'm a dreamer but I'm not alone. There are more of us than you suspect. And we've got bombs; trust and beauty bombs. There are people who believe a photo captures your soul. For them this is a terrible thing. For me, it's one last chance. I lost you that night to the strongest cup of coffee and loudest windstorm I have ever experienced. I cried for weeks. Nothing could console me. Until I woke up one morning and I could fly. Just spread my arms and go. I flew to a place that knew no light. In the caves behind my house I found a softer world. They understood what I had to do for love. You know, boy, I know this girl. She sits outside every morning and cries and where each tear lands, a flower grows. I dont know if her wings are real but I've never seen her without them and I see her everywhere. She could steal your heart if you let her get close enough. She always had a way with words. So do you.
