i used to think fireflies were just in the movies
because we don't get enough rain here
the first firefly i ever saw took my breath away
and has had it ever since

i used to think snow was just in the movies
because we don't get enough rain here
the first snowflake i ever caught on my tongue gave me goosebumps
and it let me keep them

i used to think magic was just in the movies
because we don't get enough love here
but the first time you kissed my lips, you turned my world on it's axis
and it never quite turned back

when you hear the crows,
head towards hollow spaces.

they will be both soft and loud
like something she said,
that you forgot to listen to.

catch glimpses of her in flight.
in the darkness of the night.
