Already

I thought I knew enough

and really had a stronger grip.

You shatter my thoughts

whether you mean to or not,

as the fabric of my universe rips.

There's scuffs on my boots

and bait on your breath;

a riddle with no true conclusion.

Why did you have to show up now

with your devilish illusion?

So let's take another ride on the carousel.

Let me see the wind in your hair.

I can hear laughter over the surf

and now we're playing truth or dare.

You dare me to keep my eyes closed

and I have to ask you "why?"

You tell me a dare's a dare

and now is not the time to be shy.

Our connection will not dissolve

No matter how long

no matter how far,

Lifetimes from now we'll be in love

 because we already are.
