Felt Some Kind of Way

Ideally

You and I
Our collective fly
Chillin on a beach
With 2 drinks each
Cuz we like to dream
Yeah, we like to dream.

Running on the treadmill,
Stop to take a break.
Sixth song pops in my ears,
Realize you're runnin late.
It's our normal time
I went and checked it twice
Must be ridin with her,
Huh, aint that nice.

But ideally...

You and I
Our collective fly
Chillin on a beach
With 2 drinks each
Cuz we like to dream
Yeah, we like to dream.

But we live in reality
And the truth is it bites.
Sometimes you're wrong,
And sometimes I'm right
But we keep it moving
Up and down the hills
And every time you touch me
You're giving me chills.

And ideally...

You and I
Our collective fly
Chillin on a beach
With 2 drinks each
Cuz we like to dream
Yeah, we like to dream.

Just like my vision
Us behind closed doors
We shut out everything
All our duties and all the wars
On that beach with drinks
Saw us doing wild things
Maybe mine was red bull
Cuz I think I had wings.

Ideally...

You and I
Our collective fly
Chillin on a beach
With 2 drinks each
Cuz we like to dream
Yeah, we like to dream.

Come drift with me
Let's do it in the sand
Let's walk on the boardwalk
Strollin hand in hand
Cuz ideally
You and I equals "we"
But this shit here
It's reality.


So... (An incomplete collection of haiku)

You're really telling
Me we're creating a new
Forever for "us"?

Redefined; we've drawn
And erased many a line
And now we're just fine.

Forever running
Congruent with another
Less permanent one.

I was right, you know.
Forevers aren't what they used
To be. This is New.

Welcome forever's
Middle. I've been waiting for
Too long to count time.

Maybe we're beyond
Time. I mean that's forever.
Isn't it, sir?

  4. I definitely dug this. The first part read like a song to me. I could hear you intimately singing each line with a chill acoustic guitar strumming in the background at an open mic. The second part, the series of haiku, read like an epilogue on the first part to me, a kind of bow on the present.
