i wish i was: a contrafactum

i wish i was a watch wrapped around your wrist

ticking to tell you the time, hands that always twist

we'd relish every second, no moment would be missed

and when bedtime came, you'd just take me off


i wish i was a pen you kept in your desk drawer

setting your work station up and writing your encore

you could hold me in your hand and words would outpour

and when the work was done, you'd just put me down


but if I get too close

will the magic fade?

would I turn you off or away?

if I pull you in

would I push you out

of something here you care about?

i'm at a loss for what to do

i'm drawn to you


i wish i was a blanket tossed upon your bed

you would cuddle up with my woven thread

i would keep you warm from your toes to head

and i would hold you as you drift off


but if I get too close

will the magic fade?

would I turn you off or away?

if I pull you in

would I push you out

of something here you care about?

i'm at a loss for what to do

i'm drawn to you


i'm not a pen

i'm not a cover

i'm not a wrist watch

i'm something other

i wrote you this song cuz i'm your lover

will you take it?

will you keep it?

will you read it?

believe it

i love you

forever

zipline platform

i used to sit on this platform at 3 in the morning when i couldn't sleep. i taught myself how to play guitar here. there was something so enticing about the danger, being so high in the air- something
