Dear love,
Let me in
To the darkness where the sun
Has never once
Kissed the ground,
Trust that I’ll thread carefully,
But understand that what we have
will grow recklessly.
Let me hold you
When it gets hard,
Carrying the world
Atlas hold steady, I’m right here
By your side.
Let my skin spread across
Your ancient night
Like a blanket of stars
Let me bring back the light.
Let me feel everything
My smoke caressing the air
Our touch fire, igniting each other
Know I’ve burnt hundreds
of matchsticks, trying
To find the one that lights me up.
So let me,
Fall in love
Madly and deeply.
And when it’s over-
I want to be so broken
My pieces will scatter the earth
Like wishes I blow
In search for you,
Love.

Dear love,
Let me in
To the darkness where the sun
Has never once
Kissed the ground,
Trust that I’ll thread carefully,
But understand that what we have
will grow recklessly.
Let me hold you
When it gets hard,
Carrying the world
Atlas hold steady, I’m right here
By your side.
Let my skin spread across
Your ancient night
Like a blanket of stars
Let me bring back the light.
Let me feel everything
My smoke caressing the air
Our touch fire, igniting each other
Know I’ve burnt hundreds
of matchsticks, trying
To find the one that lights me up.
So let me,
Fall in love
Madly and deeply.
And when it’s over-
I want to be so broken
My pieces will scatter the earth
Like wishes I blow
In search for you,
Love.
