Longevity

As long as I’m holding on this hard, as long as I breathe in a hurry and live only when I have time, as long as I think before I write and wait till you smile back, as long as I try to see me in your eyes and paint me on your wall..

As long as I dream to travel the world but can’t seem to find my ticket in me.

As long as I believe we’d be our own home from shore to shore in search of the truth which we know we probably won’t find but maybe searching for it will be enough.

As long as I don’t know you and you don’t know me we’ll remain in love in another dimension where I’d still make no sense and you’d still smile back..

It’s been long, since what? I don’t know but it just feels like it’s been long and I’m not good with long..

I know you’re fed up with longevity and you thought I might cheer you up.. Truth is I don’t know anything except the fact that I’m here and that I must keep writing till I understand longevity, understand why it’s been so long and why it will always be long.

You don’t have to get me, you just have to feel me because I have this theory that if you hold me close enough you’ll read me without a word said..

As long as I’m me and you’re my gravity
