i know you're scared
but let's not worry about our love. instead,
give it the freedom to flourish, the space to be wounded, to collect scars

let us fight the fear of losing sight of it
as it runs through the field of our rights and wrongs
as it swims through the sea of our secrets
as it crawls through the crevices within our pleasures and pains
as it flies high with our spirits in every shared glance
as it walks barefoot through our fights and poorly-chosen words
as it grows old with our bodies, wise with our minds
it will roar and glow eternal through our storms

as each day ends, we should let our love sleep
give it sweet time and hope it dreams of us all night
let's keep the silence
baby, find the stillness in your mind and know
that when morning breaks and the sky awakes
we're gonna wake up to its smile
