Catalyst

Check out this equation
The end product is a lesson
But I'm stuck in a steady state
And I'm dying for a catalyst.
Friends see me crying for a reaction.
They long to help me by.
Can't start bubbling like this
Sorry, take that thing away.
Add no heat in this solution
And I've already been stirred up.
Holding me still
Freeze me, melt me,
In this stationary beaker
All I want is a little catalyst.
In the end I won't be elemental.
Mix it up,
Drop in friends,
Live my life while I change.
I can't speed this simple process
stuck without my lovely catalyst
To heat me up
Stir me up
I'm bubbling up.
Such a simple elixir
To bring me simple joys.

For a Moment

You wrap arms around me while I wrap you up
And for a moment we're ready.
Almost never
Ready
When its time for this.
You pull me to you while pulling me down
And for a moment we're sure.
Never more
Sure
Have my feelings been.
You move in to me while moving me out
And for a moment we're together
At last we're
Together
I've been waiting so long.
You breathe out while I'm breathing you in.
And for a moment we're one
I'm finally
One
With you like this.
You come to me while I'm coming with you.
And for a moment we're alone.
Maybe someday
Alone
For the first time.
