A crush on youthfulness OR
The Quarter Life Crisis
by RishikVijay menon

you got a new shoe
and i wonder if its pairred up
to your new hopes and
we dont like to set up any
long term plans
because the state of
our hands are still too
fragile..
fraid of losing
tingling chilling thrilling



but im goal-
centred
and i know that you
love to hear me
sounding interested
in maybe more than
school results and
parties, fabrics meant
for generational
cohesion
why you need to
prove your seasoned
is beyond me.

but girl,
i dont doubt you
but youve got right to
doubt my reasons
expired virtues
may be the
least of all your problems
but given a chance
ill prove im new
to this romance
as long as words
dont escape before
tonight.


cause before long
Ill be long gone
and falling
asleep.
without you.
