the blow - parentheses
one of my all-time favourite love songs. applies to so many of my friendships and loves.
Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self
Now and then you can bend
Constructed to keep one’s goods on one’s own shelf
Built well you’re a strong letter I
With your feet on the ground and your head to the sky
It’s okay to lean over
Lean over my way
You fear that you can’t do it all
And you’re right
Even diligent day takes relief every day
From its work making light from the night
And when you’re holding me
We make a pair of parentheses
There’s plenty space to encase
Whatever weird way my mind goes
I know I’ll be safe in these arms
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
You know I’ll put my arm around you
And I’ll walk you outside
Through the sliding doors
Why would I mind?
You’re not a baby if you feel the world
All of the babies can feel the world
That’s why they cry
