You’re my missing piece
A thousand leagues down and you were the key
You became woven into my life so fast
Thank you for being everything I need
I heard your voice for the first time
And the sound, it let me breathe
You healed me
In the deepest trench you were glowing blue
Phosphorescent, from out of nowhere you appeared
I heard your voice for the first time
And the sound, it let me breathe
You healed me
From the tides we rose
I can see the constellations light years out from home
With no moon above, Chiron shines out from your eyes,
They’re brighter than the sun
And I heard my heart for the first time
It said “I love you” then
I felt it then
In the deepest trench you were glowing blue
Phosphorescent, from out of nowhere you appeared
I heard your voice for the first time
And the sound, it let me breathe
You healed me
And I heard my heart for the first time
It said “I love you” then
I told you then
I open my mouth
I’m an open book but the pages all fall out
Drenched in heavy rain
The raging waters of thoughts untamed
So please search for them, the things I haven’t said
They’re drowning me but I need to breathe
