And you stay
Even though, my fingers tremble sometimes.
You’re bumping out of my ears

I look down
when I’m telling the truth
But you help me up,
My favorite shotgun

We find maps inside each other
Travel the trail, down my spine
Tattoo your fingers inside of my thigh
You’re running through my veins

When I’m with you,
I feel like the Sun’s in my belly
And even though, sometimes, I use my fingers
To make myself empty, you stick around

We play in the grass
Stumbling through the doorway
Messy and full of laughter
With you everything feels brighter
You’re my sunflower

My favorite crash landing
I fall into you
You reach for me
The collision is beautiful

And you stay.
