Between The Lines

My initial intention for this post was to be a diary entry, but I’ve had this melody in my head for a couple of months. When I think about it, I usually associate it with one of my fictional works in progress. Anyway, to get it out of my head, here’s me writing what I understand from the melody.

Between The Lines

I stared out the window

Thinking what I could do

Instead of going forward

I turned to you

Now I’ve crashed onto the floor

I see you from a shadow

Wondering what you would do

But that wouldn’t be me

And the signs that I drew

Were stop, not yield — but who knows the difference?

***

Now I’m fascinated with this thing called life

Being a human

Being enthralled in it all!

Picking up things as I go

Walking on my own line

***

And here I am!

If only you could read

Between the lines

Where you and I go about

***

I hope that you’re happy

Wherever you are

But it’s driving me crazy

That you’re in so far

Into your life without stopping to stare

At the small things

At the subtle notes

I left you in the air

But who can be blamed?

We’re on parallel lines

***

When will we meet again?

Will we meet again?

Where did we even?
