Waterfall
Stop
Quiet.
Just be quiet.
Words are beautiful,
only sometimes.
In the right moments
Like this one,
right now,
here.
We just are.
Clumsy and young
it could be this way
forever
written in movie scripts
shifting photographs
stories inside of our heads
growing and leaving,
gray and blotted and grainy
flashing in and out of memories
freckles and tears and stained lips
look for something better than this.
Find it.
That's what you could be
In the quiet moments
like this,
right here,
now
I could die without you
empty and wishing
It'll be a waterfall.
pouring down and moving towards you
greater still.
brighter still.
Raining down on every little thing we'd built
together.
If you leave
