it doesn’t allow us
to feel angry or unpleasant
it doesn’t shake the leaves
from our trees
and it will never guide
to a non-existent direction
it makes me feel
as if i shouldn’t
because i’m savoring it all
for when i need it
while i’m caught in the dark
it shouldn’t take offense
to the movement of your lips
and it should rest upon every inch of me
and every minute spent
dreaming about the possibilities
