He took hold of my hand and we flew
Away from the city lights surrounding our troubles
Leaving our lives up to chance to seek out adventure
And filled our lungs with the freedom in night air

Hearts beating in code to thrill and excitement
I dared not let go, trusting I won't start to fall
But dread wins out when the clock reaches midnight
We will have to go back, a bliss like this never to last

And lay in our beds with stars over head
Magic and spells, with dreams they were real
Waiting and wishing with hearts of pure gold
Aching for belonging, longing for control

Sigh

I hated that feeling
I hated not being in control of my fate
You and I
Are water and salt:
Needing one another
Separately,
To live,
But dying of thirst
If taken together.
