Now and Then

by Andy N.
(Manchester, Unied Kingdom)

Now and then
I want to tell you
I am something different
To what you think I am.

I want to hold your hand
Now and then
And look into your eyes
Before turning away
Suddenly just to confuse you.

Now and then
I want to write love song
After love song
For you
And keep writing
Until the skin starts
To fall off my fingers.

I want to whisk us away
Now and then
To somewhere neither of us
Have ever, ever

Been

And keep driving until
We reach the edge of the world
And look at the sun
And the moon
Kissing like perfect lovers
And compare them to us.

But other times
I just want things to stay
The way they are.
