THAT FAR GONE (Love Survivalist)

Did you know about my “out clause?”

Did you know that I can disappear faster than a fucking rabbit?

Did you know that I can be so far gone that you won’t even be able to figure out if I was real or a dream?

Did you know that I am scarce? That I hide? That I am wanted? That you are lucky?

No.

You didn’t.

Which is why, at any moment, if you say the wrong thing, or imply the wrong thought, or look at me wrong way, I will motherfucking leave you in the motherfucking dust.

Forget me.

YOU WILL EAT MY DUST SO FAST, YOU WON'T HAVE TIME TO UTTER MY NAME.

You will know your choices:

Think about me

Or breathe.

Yes.

I will be that far gone.

.............................................................................

Did you know about my “out clause?”

No, tell me.

Did you know that I can disappear faster than a fucking rabbit?

I am fast. I am an eagle. I will come find you. I will scour the earth.

Did you know that I can be so far gone that you won’t even be able to figure out if I was real or a dream?

I could never forget you.

Did you know that I am scarce? Yes. That I hide? Yes. That I am wanted? Yes. That you are lucky? Yes.

No.

You didn’t.

But now I do.

Which is why, at any moment, if you say the wrong thing, or imply the wrong thought, or look at me wrong way, I will motherfucking leave you in the motherfucking dust.

I won't then. I will just tell you I love you over and over again. Even when the words sound different, it will still be I love you.

Forget me.

Never.

YOU WILL EAT MY DUST SO FAST, YOU WON'T HAVE TIME TO UTTER MY NAME.

I will eat anything you ask me to. And I will not utter your name. I will shout it to the heavens or to hell until you return.

You will know your choices:

Think about me

Or breathe.

I will think about you. Death does not scare me.

Yes.

I will be that far gone.

You live in my heart. How could I ever lose you?
