re: tea


I wish I could say that all I need in  life is a simple song

But you're my only melody

 

Tea at twelve AM and a car ride

dignify you and the city lights beaming past the glass window

Gleaming your name as a requiem with the stars

 

You were the stars

You were a mystery

An enigma

 

But what I've come to know beyond the unknown is that

All I need is you

 

If nothing gold can stay,

church bells rang this true

while I tried to hold your hue

 

Profound in darkness, divine in light

Nothing materialized

but a faint and cold goodbye

 

Down a road not taken, but grieved upon

By mortal souls and eager gods

 

Now I comply with

Tea in interlude on my dashboard

and an idle car ride, and

 

I wish I could say that all I need in life is a cherished relic

But all I need is you
