I always loved to watch you sleep.
I know that there are places that you exist without me
in your dreams, but darling
I'll reassure when you wake
that just because you can't see me
doesn't mean that I wasn't there watching.
Keep me in the parts of you
that you never wish to show another soul.
A secret place where the light doesn't let itself in through
a door or window.
A place where even in the dark
wildflowers like us can grow.
Maybe all I'll ever be is wise
words from a well deserved traveled stranger,
or a handful of second chances taken for the first time.
Maybe I'll be a wrist full of broken watches with hands that always hold perfect timing,
or a drive-in movie that I decided to walk to.
Maybe,
I'm trying too hard to be different,
and that is what makes me so much of the same.
Perhaps,
this is just a penny for my thoughts
that'll never amount to enough change.
I have counted down the moments to forever with you,
and I can tell you now that there is nothing
that I would love more than to build
our home together upon the rocky patches
in which we first built ourselves.
You are the foundation in which I'd like to base my life around.
Bring your walls,
and I'll bring my own.
We will never have to climb them
because together our struggles is what makes
this place home.
I have thought of all the ways that I could
put a roof on this home, but baby,
if we were to do that...
there would be no room left to grow.
