Five Days

Four in the morning, I can’t sleep
Gray-scale anxiety
You look so lovely
In this light
Systems are nervous, mind keeps racing
Tell me I’m safe and it’s okay
I wish my body
Didn’t put up a fight

You know the right things to say
Hits me in my heart in the best way
Keep on voicing my surprise
At the fear and sureness of our life
How have we only known each other for five days?

You and I do what we like best
My head is resting on your chest
Suddenly, I freeze
You’re lightning
I feel embarrassed by my reaction
You say it’s totally natural
Hold myself together while you hold me
Overloading

You know the right things to say
Hits me in my heart in the best way
Keep on voicing my surprise
At the fear and sureness of our life
How have we only known each other for five days?

This has happened before
I know I need to be out the door
Why am I this way?
But unlike before
I want to be with you forever more
Keep me safe

You know the right things to say
Hits me in my heart in the best way
Keep on voicing my surprise
At the fear and sureness of our life
How have we only known each other for five days?
