Hidden in the Shadows

I’ve never been in love

I think

Never with one

I think it feels like warmth and it feels like rain

I count the drawings on your skin

The permanent waves of colors blending in

To your arms that hang like a canvas

Show a little teeth in this shot

That I’ll capture in my thoughts

And hang them in a wall

Covered in the right things

Every little thing you do

Makes me cover up my face

To keep all the blushing away

Sing to me

Till I drift away

Your lullabies, I listen to all day

The echoes hidden in the shadows

Remind me you’ll keep me safe

And I’ll close my eyes

And think of you

Think about the things

I can’t stop lovingggg

Counting the dots

That lead me to your cheeks

Crinkle your lips

That turns into a laugh

Throw on yesterday’s shirt

That you’ve worn plenty times before

And disregard opinions

About your choice(s)

No matter what you do

I’ll sit along beside you

Hidden in the shadows

Till the ghost fade away

And I’ll never forget

How you held me close

And made my mind let go

Of everything that made me

Hide away

Hide away in the shadows

I never been in love

I think

Never with one

Until now

You feel like warmth and you feel like rain.
