In a night like this
where the whole city sleeps
lying in my bed
thinking of you in my head


When all the lights are gone
and only fireflies waiting for dawn
underneath the moon
here I am waiting for your text in the room


Everytime we are together
all of my doubts falter
never imagine this chance will come
i am in bliss for all you've done


Love was never the choice
it is always the cause
and now my heart sings and rejoice
so let's dance and have a toast


Someday you and I will reach for the skies
catch the stars and place it in your eyes
I will always be here waiting,
waiting for you while i am smiling.

Here I am, I'm breathless
And you, you're just the same.
My recollections failed to serve you
Justice once again.

The sight of you has chased away
The numbness of my limbs.
My beacon cheeks are fire bright;
My widened eyes; a-swim.

And everything is rushing back
And hanging on my lips,
Unspoken words that surge and rush
Like blood to fingertips.

I wish my eyes were ocean tides
That rose over and crashed,
So I could saturate your core
And make my presence last.

Oh, that those waves could draw you out
And pluck your from the shore
I'd carry you away with me
To where we were before.



*Original, Unrhymed Notes

Here I am, and I'm breathless
And you're just as I remember you
The sight of you has chased away the cold
And I'm a beacon, all flushed cheeks
And wide eyes
My coltish knees locking
And suddenly I cannot make the words
That will carry be across this
Invisible ocean
Break across you like an
all-consuming wave.
