To You

I didn’t cross that line because of her

In the tapestry of me you have a thousand threads

Driftwood bones and salt encrusted lips

My first love welcomes me back with her weathered pages

Mornings wrapped in your arms are golden

I’m just a girl dressed in white

Swept up in your orbit, we shine sun and moon

You weigh heavy on my skin like the summer sun

I’m starting to stitch myself back together again

I could imagine forever with you

Insecurities don’t go away with your kisses

We aren’t a fairytale, or a story in a book

I know I’m not in love with you, not yet

Let’s just forget everything else for the night

Falling in love with the unattainable is a talent I have long since mastered

I may not have a shirt of yours to sleep in but this one is blue, and that’s your favourite colour so it’s closer to you

I’ve been liking one kind of person for so long that you’re a confusing breath of fresh air
