Into the meadow

Into the meadow we run together, 

Faces shining in the sun.

Beneath the starry sky we wander,

'Til what we seek is done.

We play and we laugh

We joke and we splash

In the waters of a shimmering lake.

We'll never get older

So why not live here forever

Beyond what time can take?

 

There's nothing to prove

In this wilderness with you

Where being solidly me is enough.

Anything can happen

This forest is magic

As we escape from society's bluff.

 

I wonder aloud

Why what happened played out

And you're there to dry my tears.

We talk me through it

Because I think I blew it

But you'll stay, right, through the years?

You'll keep me company

Where no one else can see

And you'll protect me as you say?

 

With a quick nod,

The rest of the world is gone,

And I know this won't be our last day.

    Two kids

    The song

    The beat

    The rhythm

    You know the rhythm, don't you?

    Pulling you up

    Pulling you to me

    Out there

    I know it's scary

    Couldn't we let go and not care

    Just for tonight?

  • Giddy

    Giddy is the exhilaration

    Thinking about you

    Getting excited

    For what, I don't know

    Counting down the days until I can see you again

    (Summer is hard)

    Reading love stories

    Listening to love songs

  • I cried

    I cried.

    I looked at the photos,

    The Polaroids,

    And I cried

    And cried

    And cried.

    I couldn't feel anything.

    My heart was bleeding

    And I couldn't feel it.

    I cried

    Emotionless
