you're on your own kid,
he said before Taylor did
car ride, first date back to the pad,
declared I had layers like a shallot
hands in my hair, he traced my youth,
calming the tempest of my reckless truth
energies exchanged, concealed like his vice,
can't be oblivious, we've got parallel minds
morning light broke, a fleeting farewell
beautiful habit, ready for the muse to compel
he questioned my gut, I said we've met for a cause
spellbound, thought I was wise beyond applause
uncovered my secrets, why was I alarmed?
stuck with societal pressure, his mind of rose, so calm
messed his energy, and he journaled his thoughts to me
sad, I'm the reason to help him figure - he's not complete
deciphering each word exchanged, felt so open-ended
why can't I see the link we’ve framed? "Love, deep breaths, untangle your mind of a laureate"
my hand reached out but just as a friend,
had a feature film playing in my head
should've understood what my gut had to say
'I've given you a confidant, you're looking at it the wrong way'
once again,
taught the right steps without dancing with me
felt younger, his teenage days with every ditty
luminary, trapped inside a boy chasing paper
burnt out, ran back to his land of ponder
came a long way from my knee-jerk radicals
another year goes by, my thoughts more symmetrical
"curious girl, grow up I'm around"
why is the purpose taking so long?
and then at last,
she deduced through corroboration
"you came with lessons I had to learn"
safe from a distance, god sent heavens lantern
