Now and Then and all the growth in between

We let the embers of the morning under our skin as we woke to Autumn
I remember it like it was yesterday
Only it was yesterday and god I think I forgot it already but man I can remember the city lit up when we strolled through.
That was then…when the embers of the morning shook us to our melted cores.
But now.
Now our kerosene soaked kisses get lost in the sky
Your whiskey tongue is searching for mine in a complicated swing dance neither of us knew the moves to
And I’m learning…
That there are times we get left with holes
And people will always be trying to fill them with their belongings things making less into more
I’m filling my own this time.
We can do what we want for once.
And baby if its something you’ll regret in the morning…sleep late.
Cuz the morning will bless us again in sizzling embers a nighttime fire dead now before us.
Dizzy in the sunshine creeping through that window when all I want to do is find that fine line between being alone and remembering you.
Sometimes…you’ve got to jump and enjoy the free fall.
