Feelings shaped into words, inspired by moments
She is passionate, mysterious and all in
So if you take a chance on her, don’t do so lightly
She is the book you’ll never want to end
The dessert you’ll never want to finish
The sun you’ll never want to stop
She is a lifetime’s experience all wrapped in one
Sometimes I want to shake you
And show you what we have
Before it’s all over
And you live to regret it
Thinking there was an easier way
When everything we needed was already there
My heart aches
out of secret glances
and what could have beens
Complacency, comfort and monotony
the ingredients of stasis
a perfect recipe guaranteed
to remove the lust we once had for life.
Yes it is safe, yes it is secure - but what else?
We are young, we are bold, we are fearless
We must follow a path right for us
I bet you didn’t realise
I would be harder to forget, than I was to leave
And that the love you’re searching for now
Is the love that you had
When you feel so lost
And don’t know what way to turn
What decisions to make
What relationships to keep
What friendships to save
Know that through the lack of clarity
There is hope
One day you’ll read this back
And realise that the path was always there
It just took time to read the map
You are imperfect
I know that
and yet I feel the safest I have
in a long time
I don’t feel fear or anxiety
but security and safety
I don’t feel the storm of a passion
that’s short lived, intense and dramatic
but the ebb and flow of a slow love
a love that doesn’t need to flash its colours
or parade its feathers
A love that speaks in the quietest of moments
like the squeeze of a hand
or a phone call late at night
a shoulder to cry on
A love that’s there,
A love that’s home
