say yes, i'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl who's still around the morning after

i was on the escalator

going down

when he said

do you want to hear something funny

and i said yes



i said yes

but i thought

how funny can it be?

like, haha funny?

or like

weird funny?


because with him

you never know

so i tilted my head

inquisitively

as i was looking at the flowers

and not really seeing them


because

remember that guy

he started to say

and i thought

what guy.....what guy?


the guy who.....

he says as i make my way

through the crowd

of tourists and men in suits

women with babies and people people people


it all feels like a blur

the people and the words

that he is saying


and the blur

twists

into a tornado

inside me

creating havoc

in some places

and leaving other places

eerily untouched


i can hear him

smiling

on the other end

of the phone

and i want to give him wings
