I Feel So Settled In Your Presence

i feel so settled in your presence it seems so definitively calm here i want to go on excursions never experienced with you and just discover once upon a time i was a lonely soul yearning for any type of communication i remember the footprints in the dust at every corner that had the scent of stale talcum powder i remember the cable fluctuating between being off and on every other another i remember listening to my old walkman under a few layers of cover when the power was cut off on a very cold day in winter i recall sitting in the dark of my dusty, cobwebbed apartment letting the streetlight conceal the truth of my loneliness i recall the draft coming into the screen in the living room and becoming painfully dizzy from daydreaming i heard creaks on the stair steps and crackling in the walls even introverted the darkness has a thousand eyes to truly see even in hiding i cannot hide the from the strong stance stare of the obvious knowing this, i decide to take a chance to makes bells ring like the freedom flapping of each wing.... ....i feel so settled in your presence it seems so definitively calm here i want to go on excursions never experienced with you and just discover....
