hey you

don't try to figure them out

read them for what they are

you say a lot of things

i'm not sure you really mean

i need time to think this through

i've known people like you -

because you're like me

you think impulsively

but you're emotions are passionate

and what's ironic

is that those are traits desire

i need that fuel to light my fire

but sometimes two flames together

are a bit too much

and we'll eventually combust

into a pile of disastrous dust.

so forgive me

for thinking carefully.

and give me time

to figure out this tangled mind.
