Not So Long But Long Ago
Not so long but long ago a hurricane inside my soul and I cant explain.
Years of emptiness have flown by
All the pain and heartbreak gone
the caving felt like home
Emotions gone; I felt none
I thought I were to be numb for good
For when a gleam of brown warm eyes passed my sight
As I were dancing on the edge of a really high cliff as if I deeply long for something that’s right infront of
Me, I knew they would become something so meaningful the moment I looked in to them
I fell for those eyes slowly just like im falling asleep slowly but all at once.
Like a wave of emotions washed me over to a shore where the sun shined
Behind the bright rays of light laid the thunder of fear; the fear of not knowing
I pray for if its meant to be and for the sake of good that you stay
And if not for the wave to wash over you
But there we landed on that shore together. You burned my ignorance away and brought out the best
version of my self, for you saw colors in me I never knew existed .
I feel the need of you, the need to know that when I look away that same wave wont wash you away
from that same shore; that youll be walking behind me, that you’re willing and ready to
give in; that youll withstand the heavy winds. Ill give in and ill give you all if only you trust me enough to
do the same; write your name across my heart write your name over every part
And not run away behind your barriers. Forgive me god for I have sinned but I think im falling
In to a pool of emotions that im drowning in, those eyes bring me calmness, your sweet scent
Stained on my shirt, your voice so nice to hear so pleasant to the ear for I feel safe. It’s a game of fire
maybe if I flee too far I Might Get lost in those flames but I need to know that youll light up with me for
when I do; That the next wave and wont wash you and those flames along; all the darkness wont
consume that once bright cave. I need to know youll have your hand in mine and your soul wrapped in
mine. Love is the most I could give to you if you allow me and allow yourself to do so. Ill be your
kryptonite, we’ll take a trip tonight to a luxury of possibilities. For so long I forgot to breathe, for so long I
could breathe again.
