Do you get the sense we've been living the same episodes
Of characters who haven't evolved yet?
I will edit the narrative
Include answers to
Problems that I haven't solved yet
But it's getting late and I'm always on the edge
Of hyperventilating
It's your hand on my hand
That helps me breathe easy again
Despite a focused regimen of mental calisthenics
I could never hope to comprehend what it's like to feel settled
I will count every step as you climb the stairs
Every moment til you reach me here
Do you ever get lonely
Or do you only ever feel strong
