if i told you tonight
that things could be different
would you believe me

would you shut your eyes
and follow me to a place
that i have no words to explain
where we are going

it was awkward
tonight
it was like i had been there before
but yet had not
i shut my eyes

someday
baby
i promise - we will get there
someday
but not today

tonight the song sang:

are you going to get it right?
are you going to get it right?
are you going to get it right?

18 years or so ago
would not have dreamt
what this place would look like

so many times
i begged you
to tell me

stories that lost the plot
to them
ripped away

like so much fried chicken
loneliness is nothing
until you lost your phone

wait the accent will save you
18 years or so ago
we would have thought so.

i carried
train sets and mind sets
memories i rather forget
but forgetting those i need to keep
close to my heart
some things won't be the same
now that today has gone.
no one had much to say,
if any
they had faded into the night
and i into the wall
thank

the streets seemed lonely tonight
and maybe rightly they should be.
it was late
i was too late.

i nicked this quote from aspectratio. thanks. tho i know i didn't ask.

"Modern communication enabling technologies will only heighten your sense of desolation by making you more keenly aware of the fact that no one is trying to call."

-found in old blog somewhere.

i stood
as you jumped
into the lalang field
you disappeared amongst the leaves
that gently cut your skin
was this the only way home?
i screamed
there was only silence
that greeted me
this was it again
i was paralysed as watched another
escape through the leaves

and know that i don't want to fight you
