Like Slow Disappearing - Turnover

Three sixteen’s of an inch

Disappear right behind your lips

We were waiting and watching the light in the sky

And it hurt my eyes

I guess that it must have been then

We slipped out of our cagey heads and got

Tangled and lost and dove further out into it all again

And I was afraid

But you were glowing like the most relieving light

You were my revealing light

I closed my eyes and suddenly we were attached

You stayed with me after the moment passed

I felt you buried deep under my chest

Like my lungs when I’m breathing in

And I was not myself when I opened up my eyes again

Over our heads in a daze

We sat and watched while the setting changed into

Something I read in a book that I loved when I was young

I fixed my stare to the screen

A show with a monster was on the TV

It was early October, and all of the yards were alive with lights

And I was afraid

But you were glowing like the most relieving light

You were my revealing light

I closed my eyes and suddenly we were attached

You stayed with me after the moment passed

I felt you buried deep under my chest

Like my lungs when I’m breathing in

And I was not myself when I opened up my eyes again
