I haven't always back pedalledI haven't always been so uneven
So seduced by time
Running from those unfolded hands
Listening to your untold lies
My eyes whispered secrets
I'd never dare speak of in the daylight
Sweeping through dark sandcastles
That remind me of October
I wish I could do it all over
I would've turned to You
Like I ought too
Even now.
With beautiful smiles
And such a long while
Before you realize
How you are too.
Bedtime stories that only made me sleepless
Because I forgot to pray
I thought about it anyway.
I emptied the jar, the box
The listless
Where possibilities covered all their bases
How can I reach You?
With tears?
With faith?
With apologies?
Or would you just watch over me?
Admitting
I lost my way
Reasoning with myself
To turn back
Waves of restraint and opposition
Shy my away
So childishly
Have you been missing me?
I promise You never left my mind
And as if a million eyes
Followed me towards the ground
With the sudden sunlight
Lift me without a sound
I don't know how to give myself
Another chance
Please tell me how.
But You did...
And I'm safe now.
