the races

we're running through these times
and it's a shame when we're together
because it just appears we're faster
than when we're on our own

and it wouldn't be so hard to take
if we weren't good for each other
the way you call me names
and kiss my face,
and listen close to my heart

oh what a world it might be
if it were all in between
our steady glances and gentle embraces,
encompassing all things.
