Our Perigee for Now

what's this?
you lit a match in darkness
what's this?
you painted perfect colors

and I get weak
I'm not waking up
you see it's hard to break the meanings apart

what's this?
you built a shelter for me
what's this?
you twirl my world round
spinning

and we got off the ground and healed our scars
we shared our sparks leaving everything far

for a night
there's only us
empty words
but nothing matters now
you pick me up
we're rising from the dust
rekindling lights

if you come in can you not leave
anymore
are you holding tight or throwing me
from higher
building towers on virtual grounds
breadcrumbs burning
are those stones set in paper towns
false positives

got nearest ever
still nowhere near
are you close to being open
are we close to being close

when the nights
there's only us
I can't hide
from distance clearing us
I dropped harder
but crawling from the dust
extend the lights
