Safe (2)

I swiped right and then we matched

Connection at first sight

Didn’t know one little message

Could change my whole damn life

Arcade lights and laughing hard

Competing side by side

And somewhere in that crowded room

I quit trying to hide

Then we ran through a haunted trail

Screaming while I held on tight

Funny how fake ghosts in the dark

Felt safer than real life

You take me out, you make me laugh

You pull me into something new

Pickleball courts and hour long drives

Now all my favorite days involve you

You say I’m sweet, you say I shine

Like somehow you cant get me off your mind

Is Mister Man-Sir this girls An-Swer?

I guess we’ll find out in time

Cause loving someone scares me still

When trust is something hard to find

But you make me feel safe

Like I can finally breathe

Like I don’t have to carry every burden

Or be everything

We talk for hours about our lives

About our dreams and family

And even though it terrifies me

You feel like where I’m meant to be

Georgia skies right after Christmas Day

Myrtle Beach waves rolling in

Seven months and somehow still

My favorite place is next to you

But I’m still tangled in my past

Still scared I’ll hurt somebody too

And sometimes when I look at us

I wonder what I’m supposed to do

We both have secrets, both have fears

Both afraid of being burned

But somehow through the chaos

We’re still choosing not to turn

And I remember that rainy night

Standing underneath your garage

Heart beating so hard I shook

before saying: I love you.

God, I can’t believe I said it first.

And for one moment in your arms

I swear the whole world finally worked

You make me feel safe

In ways I can’t explain

And even if we’re moving fast

I don’t wanna run away

Because somewhere between that October night, our long talks and thundering skies

I stopped being scared of falling

When I saw forever in your eyes
