silence
i found you in a silent place
where the trees fell quiet and the world felt far away
like the night before the day
and i didn’t know your name
but my heart knew you better
every step i begin to take
kept leading me on faster
and it felt like falling slowly
like down from the clouds
like i finally found a place
in the home i fit better now
we were written in the sky drawn out to the stars
even when i was blinded and couldnt see
i was led closer to your heart
every path i took brought you back
to the beginning and end of the story
in a happy ever after laugh
i was lost in my mind
trying to be enough
then you stared at me like i was the key to your heart
like i was the answer to your love
and now every little thing
every guitar string i play
feels a little more alive
like the colors came back inside
like i finally learned to free myself from the guilt of not saying goodbye
and it feels like flying in the clouds
the sky in my chest
like i finally am enough
like i finally fit in best
we were written in paper
a poem on a book
even when i couldn’t see
every letter you took
so if the night gets too quiet
if the sky whispers goodnight
and the world is hard to face
i will be the anchor by your side
you can find me in this place i like to call home
because love isn’t a feeling
it isn't a letter printed on a romance book
it’s the way we chose to stay
to breathe one more day
through the darkness trying to take lives
through the night into the light
