I am talking to you

Sometimes you realize that someone has already said something you had on your mind. It does not make you less unique, think about it... Great minds think alike.

“Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?” ― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

The convenient lovers

Their hands and lips met at the very right place

Yet, their eyes were lost in the very wrong moment

They were holding each other

Not wanting to lose one another

Sharing their bodies

But protecting their souls

Not wanting to lose themselves

To one another 

No explanation needed

Carpe diem at its best

Protecting themselves from too much

And nothing

Trying to keep the balance 

Mutual respect was established already

And yet, the silence was still uncomfortable

Trying to make noise

But the rules were simple:

We come and go

And we do not settle 

With nobody else

Nor with each other 

Knowing the safe place is dangerous 

It is hardly ever within your comfort zone
