Put my foot in my mouth again
Cuz it worked out so well the last few times
For the only time in my life
Cuz like you said
one of us has to take a step
Or we won’t move
I tried but it had to be you
Soothing fears and I’m back to steady here
If I died tonight I’ve had that missing piece back
So if it ends tomorrow or too soon
I’ve still had it all with you
Not all we’re meant for but everything I could’ve asked and more
Years ago I figured out what haunted me
What I chased in every wrong place
And I learned to grieve and let it be
Cuz maybe it didn’t even exist
But tonight when we kissed..
That last lock clicked
That first wound closed
And I am not naive enough to think that cements where this will go
Or that I don’t still have to work every day to be the better me and heal the aches
But when I finally felt your lips
After all the buildup
It wasn’t fireworks or coming home
And yet for a part of me it was, exactly
It was comfortable, like you can enjoy it in the moment
And it made my heart race, like a new drug uncovered
just a buzz of electricity
the memory is a jolt through me
Just enough and then some to know I could do that forever..
Somehow I knew it would feel like that
Like slipping into a hot bath
The pure ecstasy without blistering
That perfect tingling along your skin
Like it’s brand new
Like it’s everything
Everything between us has been
A happy accident
That just comes easily and doesn’t leave
Authentic, simple and magic at the same time
So why would this be any different
If I had a thousand chances I wouldn’t wish it
Any other way
Even if it’s ten years from today
That you say you’re ready
There’s just a hint of fate
That it is supposed to be this way
And whether it was only meant to lead to this and end
If you find happiness in another
I’ll never begrudge you it
Not for a second if it’s good for you
But maybe maybe like the scary feeling I didn’t wanna admit to
This is how love is supposed to be
One thing at a time, I guess we’ll see
I’m not worried about the fall out
and I’m growing too
No matter what it will always be worth it
This night and every moment with you..
