While We’re Here

 

I forgot that driving a car means sitting on a moving air and rubber

I forgot that the east is somehow hotter than the west

And the north taller than the south

At least in my city

Where they say love grows

Where they say missing feeling blooms

I forgot that flying an airplane means hovering over something unseen

Like the air and the pressure and those wings to slice them

I forgot that floating on a ship means we’re lighter than the water

Even though it’s something you can’t grab or grip

But we can still sink if the position isn’t right

Just like love

I forgot that being in love starts with falling into it

But if you fall you’ll most probably bruise

And if you bruise it’ll most probably sting and hurt

I forgot that falling in love was hurting in silent

Until I fell in love and we don’t match

At least not now, not tomorrow

I forgot how loving you was so easy

Until things got a little messy

I forgot how you’re so fine

Until you’re not anymore

I forgot how you’re lovable

No, I never forget that one

You still are the one

The most lovable, the most fun

No, I didn’t forget that one

So I will love you while I still can

As a friend as anything you want

As the one or less than the one

I never forget that love was about giving

And to you I’ll be the most forgiving

Because as much as I forgot that running means trusting your body on smaller surfaces of your feet

I don’t forget that we’re once a fit

So I believe we can still be it

We’ll judge that by the time we meet

Because I’m not made for a defeat

Not even for that virus named Covid 

So we’ll run together again, right? We’ll run!

We’ll have fun again, right? We’ll have fun!

Until either one of us is gone

Until our hearts say “it’s time to move on“
