most time i want everything to slow down. rewind. pause me. pause you. keep this moment in freeze frame. smooth out any tiny little blemishes.
nicole twirls. enchanted. under street lights and chandeliers. glowing. more than an illumination from 50 watt bulbs. more than a single silhouette. still without you.
strapped in. buckled. safe. fast forward. listen to the techno beats. speed through what i haven't seen. speed through years. months. days. barely glimpsing at the change in seasons.
only to hit abruptly. a time. where i am ready to move beyond these skyscrapers and sidewalks. push away books and dreams my emotions are linked to. on to emotions you're linked to.
then. mechanical buttons that produced such chaotic times. scraping down sidewalks and destroyed.
you&i
calm
together
no fast forward
no rewind
fairy tale endings.
i'll cross my fingers.
if you'll cross yours.
