I never thought

my mind

would ever stop

moving moving moving.

I felt like each night

I would end up

cradling my heart

in my own arms,

withdrawing withdrawing withdrawing.

I couldn't see myself

feeling emotion

for anything

anybody anybody anybody.

There was no end

to a stream

of never ending questions,

never ending panic

but it all

stopped stopped stopped.

I was finding myself

without air

but yet here I am,

in front of you

breathing breathing breathing.

I felt like everything

in my life

would end up wrong

but suddenly

things feel

right right right.

Til I met you

I had nothing

And now that I know you

I feel like I can have everything.

My life was

fragmented in pieces

of

three three three.

Doubts clouded

my mind

in thoughts

that would repeat

themselves

over and over and over again.

The rewind button

has stopped

the repetition

has come to an end

and I am beginning to realize

I can enjoy the song of life

without having to go back

and listen to it

again and again and again.
