Sometimes I sleep too much
because it shows me things
I'll never see awake

Did you ever
wish to be the reason
someone can't sleep

Did you ever take in your tears
when someone joked
about your biggest insecurity?
- and you smiled.

I wish I had anchors,
To keep me still when the tides rise high,
For a little while just safe and dry—
To weigh down the whispers,
That try to pull me far from shore,
For a little while just drifting no more;
To steady my footsteps,
The wind has chased me far enough,
I never needed to prove I'm tough;
To hold when I waver,
Let me rest where the waters cease,
I never needed to beg for peace.
I wish I had anchors.

It was a beautiful evening,
A rare purple sky and empty-
And I was thinking of you.

I wish I didn't, but I did,
And I do, more often than I like.

I remember, I fell asleep,
And when I woke up again,
the evening I so loved was gone-
like you.
