inspired by DMB's "The Space Between" (click on title for lyrics)

thanks to Cat for looking at it first.

the space between
by kel

In between.

That's what I have to tell people when they ask. When? How? Where?

The space between.

Between pink tipped roses and intermediary ploys.

Between a hundred dollar retainer and my ever-present need to get back at Dara.

Between coffee beans and arsonists.

The most unlikely man. The last one I was supposed to care about.

Between hyperventilation and champagne.

Between a spray of bullets and being forced to the ground.

When did it happen?

In between.

Between awkward and almost weddings.

Between "codes" and being morally bankrupt.

How did it happen?

Between a gardenia and dancing.

Between dinners and friendship.

Where did it happen?

The space between.

Between two apartments.

Between two lives.

So when they ask. When did you fall? How? Where?

I just say it was in the space between.
