why don't we

just line the sky with umbrellas that hide us from the world
i'll wear a dress of lace and sing at the top of my lungs
you do that dance that makes me laugh to tears
and we can finally start this thing
just you and me, baby

 

just you and me.

he

	he isn't who we thought he was who we thought he'd be my love he is so much more

i was supposed to go to you
but i couldn't
i was meant to care for you
but i was beaten
exhausted from hurting myself

instead
you came to me
you came for me
you chased me
with my rescue

you've broken the curse of october

you, my november
i write for you now.

i look at you
marvel
and know undoubtedly
that you are the best decision
i'll ever have had the privilege of making

wear a scarf

i used to think of you on days like this
and hope you weren't feeling alone
hope you were dressed warmly
hope you weren't limping around after one of your accidents
and i'm back to that familiar nag
that demands i let you go

but how do you let go
of something you never really had
something that was never yours
how do you let go of comfort
a solace you only almost held
a couch you've never even seen

so i make mine
as comfortable as i can
and listen to my mother's voice
telling me to dress warmly
to stay home alone
so i'm not limping around after one of my accidents

have a little faith

in me.

i would like to ride a vintage bicycle

i would like to sing and play in the middle of the night
i would like a pearl ring

i would like to revel
in pictures of sepias
exposed teals
and white sapphires

i would like to look at you

marvel
and know undoubtedly
that you are the best decision
i'll ever have had the privilege of making
