I wanna escape reality.
To find the solitude of our stars.
Flee to cliff edges,
And lose myself in the Milky Way that your skin shines in the moon's half light.
I wanna feel the tides lap at my feet, and dance with you under the melodious sky,
Painting ourselves with starlight in the shadows of this night.
I want to be translucent with you,
Dissipate just enough for all the hardships to slip through.
Where nothing is true, but the fire of your skin on mine,
Your eyes drinking in the shallow pools of my mind.
Where we can chase demons through black sands, and send them running with our own list of demands.
And then fall down, upon the thousands of rock memories, those mountains ground slowly to dust, and revel in the sweet serenity of those mountains specks of forever, as they become metaphors for us,
Making our own specks, bright shards, like the smiling stars,
Sand in the hour glass of our forever.
The brightest bits, that we've ground down together.

Until, exhausted, and covered in sweet ocean-mountain dust,
We come back to face it all again,
City lights, and worries, and pain.
But it's ok, For I am safe from life's harms.
But only because I know when we get back, I can face this reality in your arms.
