it hit in the dead of night

see that? it's the lightning.

like frankenstein's monster - electrified.

when did it happen,

when did the rhythm change?

my heart's not mine anymore,

it's yours.

i thought i was just a collection

of plastic straws, bent at the edges,

but the wind flows through me now.

plays a song i never want to end.

i never thought losing you

would break me

but now i think it would.

i can hear your heart beat,

my head on your chest.

i can see where the lightning has struck us both.

the wheels are spinning now,

surely as the globe.

this time is ours,

so won't you kiss me again?
