The Deal of a Lifetime

A second is always a second; that’s the one definitive value we have on earth

I felt your heart beat, right in the ends of your fingertips

You’ve always touched the things you like as though they had a pulse.

We said very little, because there was too much I wanted to say. That’s always when we fall silent

You humans always think you’re ready to give your lives, but only until you understand what that really involves.

It’s bloody awful to admit to yourself that you’re not the kind of person you’ve always thought you were

The happy leave nothing behind. They live for the sake of living, they’re only on earth as consumers. Not me

I came home after a trip and it took me two days to realize that neither of you was there

They went on and on about smoking, as though it would have time to kill me

We play around; we stay at home; we fall in love and fall asleep right next to each other.
