"wrap me up in lavender thunder;"

Saturn;

in the blink of an eye, it's all morphed. i went back a full year later, and it was no longer the safe haven i'd known, the pub on the corner where i got over it all/him. closed; opened; new.
time is shiftable, & i've used that before. 
walk with me, won't you? slow dancing in a burning room. memory lane is crumbling with every step; it's all illuminated now when i look back and see your smile. is that a glint of madness in your eye? it matches mine. 
mischief & magic;
daylight's imploding into the night sky's stars. 
"don't be so cynical," he says. we're still dancing and the room is on fire and you're explaining the infinite.

how rare & beautiful it is to even exist/
i couldn't help but ask for you to say it all again/
i tried to write it down but i could never find a pen/
i'd give anything to hear you say it one more time/
that the universe was made just to be seen by my eyes;

everything changes but somehow we're all still exactly the same, exactly where we need to be. i didn't know it while it was melting all around me but the year that just happened was the year of a lifetime. truly/ brutally/ honestly. 
but nothing baffled me more than seeing you at the end of that crumpled, bashed down little road. 
"hello my old heart," he says. 
SMILE. SHIFT. REPEAT.
