I've only said it first to one person
and I can't stop from wondering
 if that's the first time I meant it
I could never say yes
to someone who asked permission


I'm always trying to explain things with out words
If I could paint it would be easier
I'd draw a picture of us back to back
The view of us from above
holding hands, barely
with everything in front of us
surrounding us
but nothing touching us
If I had images to paint on walls
and chalk across the road
I'd have an excuse to have nothing else to say
