Slippin’ In Time

I heard this yesterday and I thought how cute! (The song) but the lyrics, sounds like someone’s stuck in a toxic ship. 🤭

I didn’t know it was an ode for quarantine life until later. Then, it was clear to me how toxic it can be sometimes the relationship we have in the family. We have no choice but to get to know them better. We’re literally, stuck…indoor…with them… during the pandemic.

This song made me think of someone close to my heart alot as it kept playing. I may not have been stuck w him physically but my soul is. Aaahhh, what did you do to me, Hon?!

Since he found me, I find myself living in another dimension. Each time I close my eyes, he takes me there.

There’s another life waiting for me. A world created only by him and I… and the tribe. Our. Tribe.

I only see these scenes as I blink my eyes… since. It’s been years now. How could this still happen?! I wonder too!

I’ve been finding myself slippin’ in time so frequently in his absence. The real world may be in anarchy but I can’t believe I’ve been living another life in my sleep or half asleep/awake moments as he sends off his love letters in a thousand form… in the awake moments of my life. I can’t believe I’m stuck with him in a spiritual level… all these years.

My fave line:
So, lock the door and throw out the key
Can’t fight this no more, it’s just you and me
And there’s nothin’ I, nothin’ I, I can do
I’m stuck with you.

I’m stuck with him in my head. My soul is stuck with him since he found me and I can’t wait to see him as he promised he’d say he’ll do.
