Electric

Lately I've been thinking a lot about electricity. Not so much about like outlets or light bulbs or kites being flown in the sky by old men with spectacles....not that kind of electricity. More like, the kind of electricity that exists between 2 people.

I consider electricity to be one of the most important factors of attraction. There are people in your life whom you will meet that you are simply drawn to by these forces completely outside of your own body. It's like something in them is pulling you closer, and something in you, which you don't even know exists, is pulling them closer. And it's just all so electric. It feels like a lightning bolt is shooting sparks back and forth between your chests, and you almost can't pull away. The force is too strong, and you aren't strong enough to overcome it. And you aren't able to hide the things you want to hide, and you can't say the things you want to say. You do the things you want to do because you want to do them, or you don't do them because the electricity is too intense it makes you nervous.

And even if these forces are working against the 2 people for example one is unable to hide things they want to hide while the other can't say things they want to say...which would cause some conflict, it still is undeniable that there is electricity. You both feel it, and you both can't move yourselves from that position. You have to have someone or something physically draw you away, because if it were up to you, you'd never move, you'd never leave.

Electric
I can feel it closing up
The space between
Forces inside of us
Pulling me to you
And pulling you to me

Across the room
Our eyes meet
Boy and girl
Trying to fight the force
The electricity

Feet move forward
We can only obey
Hands reach out
We do the things we want to do
We can’t fight it

Even if it’s wrong
We can’t fight it
Say what you want to say
Hide what you’re too afraid to say
It's out of our control

The words exchanged
The smiles given
It’s undeniable
Nothing can tear apart
The electricity

When I’m standing
With you
The electricity
Takes hold
Of everything.
