Cream of the cloud-filled soup

Vaguely listening...
I don't bother to tune in
Like an ancient radio gone out of style.

I can't help but hear the worries being confessed
I can't help but feel the vibes of affection
I can't help but imagine all those sprinting droplets are someone's tears.
I can't help but smell the salt from my own.
I can't help but touch the foggy window that reflects the sky.
I can't help but want to love you so much...

As in you, I mean "them"
All and all of them.
We past the streetlights, green, green, red, red...pause.
Headlock
Hide and Seek
Goodnight and Go

And Moulin Rouge...

What an amazing night.
I wish times like these would never end

I can't help but love you and your writing. I really like how this poem is structured and how the details fit well into it. Great job!
