all the flowers down and

p u n c h e d

the waves until they 

s h a t t e r e d

like icy glass and I

c h a s e d

the grassy road till its end

"Having a career isn't all that there is in life."

You think I don't know that?

I know it isn't.

But I also know

That this is my ticket into the real world

And I'm not going to blow it

For silly parties

The way we can laugh

The way we're so at ease

The way I can't stop looking at you

The way I can feel you

Next to me

Like I'd be happy wherever I can have this

The way we can grab each other's hands

I'm not scared of the dark

I don't trust it

I don't trust what it could reveal

I'm not scared of the dark

I'm scared of my mind

I'm scared of the games my brain plays 

I'm not scared of the dark

severus snape knew what always meant

he knew the weight of it

he understood it

"after all this time?"

"always."

always

something so powerful

with such weight

so profound

I love

Snowy stage band mornings

Dark and cold

Blowing in the door with some random trumpet player

Our conductor's coffee

Wet I-just-showered hair

Bedhead, the age-old oops-forgot-my-folder
