Lucid Dreams

the air is thick,

this room is hazy

I know you’re close,

heart beats are racing.

a sea of bodies surrounds me,

not a face of despair

I catch yours in the crowd,

and I can’t help but stare.

you smile back

somehow,

you make all of this feel so easy

my world’s been spinning

yet,

you’ve figured out how to ground me.

part this sea for me,

come close,

just hold me tight,

take me back to the moment,

when we lost the good fight.

remember?

first kissed in a room that was pitch black,

I found your hand, you kissed mine, worlds collided, that was that.

dance with me,

like we did in the Southside

holding each other, swaying to 90’s R&B vibes

I swear,

sometimes these memories,

feel more like a lucid dream

picked apart, pieced together, as if only to play back the best scenes.

yet,

I know I can’t be dreaming,

this right here,

between us,

feels like more than that.

carved out moments in space and time,

memories I won’t forget

and I know

right now,

this feels easy,

and things are bound to change

but I promise you I’ll hold you down,

if you promise to do the same.

for now,

let’s just be free,

chase this music,

come dance with me.

just hold me in your arms again,

let’s dance,

until the music ends.
