Between You and Me - Lemon Demon

Almost every day, I am swept away
from the dull, void and null by the things you say.
Wouldn't it be great, living in one state?
State of mind, intertwined, that you help create.

When we're on the phone, I am no longer alone.
It's a start, but my heart is still in another time zone.
You're the greatest thing random fate couldn't bring.
Still, I smile. Maybe I'll meet you in the spring.

What if I don't? God I hope I do. Wishes come true.

Waiting for everything to fall into place.
So far a distance just to see face to face.
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply.
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try.

You are, indubitably, the loveliest possible person for me.
Why weren't we thrown together, somewhere nice with perfect weather?
Where cosmic placement failed, where Serendipity dragged her tail
is where we are right now. We must escape, but we don't know how.

You know what would be rad? If I were rich, and if I had
an aeroplane with giant wings, and funky old propeller things.
I would fly right by your place, and pick you up with gentle grace,
and fly straight into outer space, just to see you face to face.

And when we come back, we'll be fast asleep,
counting camels instead of sheep.

Waiting for everything to fall into place.
So far a distance just to see face to face.
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply.
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try.

Wonder if I'll ever be with you?
Do wishes come true? (God I hope they do.)

Raz gets a letter from Lili. I reckon they dont get to see each other once the summer ends. I don't even think Raz gets to see a whole lot of action in the feild; he may be a Psychonaut, but he's still a kid. Sasha and Milla aren't going to raise him, he has his own family, and an obligation to them, and...whatever passes for education when you're raised in the circus. I also suppose he doesn't hate circus life as much anymore, once he's patched things up with his dad.

I can't say I have a whole lot of faith in the Raz/Lili thing, cus I mean, they're just kids. But I love them both, so what the hell.

Hey, Raz? Cid called. She wants her tights back.

Not sure how I feel about the coloring on this one. If I can salvage enough working markers, I might give it a shot with that.
