I lost myself inside a dream,
Where you were there beside me.
I held your hand,
I hugged your body,
Your heart beat into my ear.

I lost myself inside a dream,
Where I was there beside you.
You talked to me,
Told me your plans,
I missed the truth beneath your sounds.

I lost myself inside a dream,
Where I thought we could be happy.
Alone and snuggled under a blanket,
I yearn to go back to slumber,
And sit with you one more time.

it wasn't the fall
that worried her
she enjoyed it
the wind in her hair
the gentle sunlight
trespassing onto her skin.

it was the landing
that worried her
the uncertainty
of where she'd end up

hoping a cushioned cloud
would wrap her up and keep her safe
but knowing
that a landing in treacherous waters
was just as likely

but she enjoyed the fall.
