One in the same

January 15, 2018 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

She say that I’m lucky, she said cause she loves me
I asked, what do you study, she said, criminal justice
Ahh, you put me on crutches, she said she wouldn’t judge me
I asked, well what do you want
She said what’s wants over needs, I asked, well what do you need?
She said she wants what she needs
You talking in riddles tell me what do you mean
She said, ‘mean’ is just average, she shoots for the stars and she landed on me
That gave me a laugh, she kissed me and blushed
I said we shouldn’t, she said what shouldn’t we Russ?
We shouldn’t rush
She said we shouldn’t wait, I said what if it’s lust
She said what if it’s fate..
There’s a lot that I been through, there’s more that I’m going through
She said she loves adventures and there’s so much more we can go through
I said I seen it all, she said not what I’ll show you
I asked how do you know? She said I know because I know me so I know you- we are one in the same
Baba Ram Dass- only that in you which is me, can hear what im saying
