Jigsaw

When I first got a glimpse of you

Standing back against the wall

That indescribable look in your face

I sighed, and I knew that was no ordinary Monday

I never really wanted to settle down

And I guess this will never change

But no matter how fiercely I try to reassure you

What brings us together is still what tears us apart

You can't bear to be with me

And you can't bear to be without me

And so we're (hopelessly?)

Trapped somewhere inbetween

Floating weightless

Holding my breath until daylight hits

And my heart sinks

In anticipation of another goodbye

This minuet of ours has become so predictable

Is it for good this time?

For the sake of everything we did not choose to be

I need you to stay or let me go

You ruined my favorite record

I cannot listen to these tunes anymore

Without ringing every alarm in my head

What used to be fulfillment

Is now a longing, yearning, memory
