How interesting it is to think of how I could've been the one who swam against the stream
the one you chased in your sleep
who challenged resistance from the deep
your little distraction, the strand of hair you twist when you think
But you caught me - with very little effort.
Even more interesting is how you could've been the one who got away
the one I could never catch
a topoic over whisky between friends on rainy Saturdays
a mirage, an apparition I see in the water basin
But I caught you - alone and unprepared.
It makes me laugh when I think of how we could've been strangers
trying not to stare at eachother on a bus,
bumping into each other at the mall,
sharing an umbrella at the rainy bus stop,
passing each other on payday at the bank
But still waters ran to deep for us so we met...
...how interesting.
how interesting i could have been without knowledge of how bad things can be,how interesting.thank you for panting a bigger picture of how things would have differed from what they are
