Sometimes I slow down
let the world catch up with me.
Yet when I do this
the world moves a little fast
and floods me with emotion.
It makes me tear up
because my body cannot contain it.
I need to express it
for it is love in our world
and love in our world is great
and hate in our world is finite.
So I slow down
and the love floods me.
It makes me tear up
because my body cannot contain it
because I am mortal.
