Blink And You Will Miss It

Only the time traveler who fell in love with his past is truly present He glances at things he has already seen And stands on steps he has already walked Without the anxiety roar in the background of his thoughts He learns to truly live each moment He is an actor who has read the script And knows each word you will say to him You can't truly hurt him You can't truly love him He stands like a hologram you can touch Like a passenger in a human body Without the terror of alternate endings He starts to notice the unnoticed The exact angle of the sun that enters your bedroom each season Your smell on his clothes when you wear them The tiny waves your breath makes when you drink coffee with him He knows that life is only lived during a tragedy Or in anticipation of one So when it's time he will know He will embrace you and he will cry with you The time-traveler who fell in love with his past Breathes in one reality He embraces the simplicity of his dead ends He loves one person and he lives one life He relives his misfortunes and feels grateful Despite knowing the end He awaits the next chapter
