oh no, oh no.

endless smiles
whispers that sound like airliners taking off,
words that hit pavement like artillery.
the tips of my fingers are thunderstorms,
slowly, gently beating rain down onto your rooftops.

if I told you I saw the future in your eyes,
would you run?
if I told you just how I felt,
as if gravity was gone
as if someone finally turned on the light and the way is clear,
spinning out of control and yet moving forward so fast,
gut-punched and drowning in a shit-eating grin,
oh, love
if I told you just how I felt tonight,
would you run?
would you let that devilish smile creep across your face like it does,
and then kiss me? 

just lay back,
let the thunderstorm pass over you
lets just lay here together
I'm afraid to tell you what I see in your eyes
