"It seems only yesterday I used to believe
there was nothing under my skin but light.
If you cut me, I would shine.
But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,
I skin my knees. I bleed."

if i never stopped smiling,
in a hundred thousand years,
it would be too soon.

if i never finished playing, if i
never grew up, if you never
stopped growing, if we never quit,
if no one ever stopped moving

laughing

loving

learning

pretending

that would be okay.

i'd smile and go with it and think to
myself but never tell you. but if i did,
it
would be alright.

you told me so once at the lake

at the shore

on the porch, you whispered because it was late
and we were so so close to everyone around us

"everything will be alright. watch."

so i watched. i watch.

i'll keep watching, for the next
one hundred thousand years.
and we both know

it will be too soon.

but we'll never stop

smiling.
