Valkyrie.

i would describe myself as a realist.
or a perfectionist, in some sorts.
maybe even sometimes a dork,
but never a romantic.

now when my eyes open i don't dread the day.
i still take a moment to wonder,
wonder why dark hair is pictured into my mind,
and a smile that crosses those lips.

i blink, and the image leaves.
but pops up again nearly five seconds later.
and continues to do so,
until my eyes are closed for longer time.

can you hear me, i can hear you
i got you, i can hear you over
i really feel strange
i wanna wish for something new
this is the scariest thing i've done in my life
who do we think we are?

i can't believe how new,
yet how old this is.
hands touching hands,
feeling the warmth,
overtake the cold.
the white of the grin,
vanquishing the darkness.

i easily remember the trip back.
listening to bo burnham,
and just staring out the window.
then i felt so comfortable,
safe,
and just happy.

everyone, everyone will listen,
even if it hurts sometimes
if you will, come and hear the message
everyone wants to learn to love again.
open up and come alive.
and if you will; can you hear my message?

let me tell you,
i'm scared as hell.
a part of me just wants to hide under the bed again,
clutching onto a teddybear,
screaming at life to leave me alone.

but life swoops in,
takes you in it's arms,
and carries you over.

and do you think that you have it in you?
if you're here and you're all alone tonight
then i'll give you a free ride
take a chance cause i know you want to

my heart jumps,
listening to the sweet sounds of melodies,
played by your beautiful hands.
i just watch in admiration,
of just the light,
and the glory that radiates.

i'm not sure if i can compare.
but i won't fret,
because insecurity and complications..
haven't happened yet.

if you'll only just hold on, just hold on
i'm here and i'm with you
i'm here too, i feel you
we'll get thought, i know this, i've seen it

a hundred times, a thousand times
just one more time
with you and i, i'll pull you close
and then we'll say goodbye

"that awkward moment when the one you've thought about a thousand times suddenly becomes real out of nowhere."

it's not awkward.
it's just truth,
because i didn't think it'd be barreling this quickly,
taking me under,
and leaving me with this feeling.
a feeling of safety,
and of ease.

you don't know how long i've waited for that.

with love and light,
eve morgan
