Have you ever just sat outside at 3am and wonder what I'm doing?
Because when it comes to you I do it all the time.
Have you ever been driving and that song pops on and you just drift away to a different place?
Somewhere so far away and just think about it?
Everyday for me, I hope things are good. No we don't talk everyday 24/7 barely see each other. But I hope you're okay.
Once a week,
Only once a week I feel safe.
Because of you.
All my problems drift away to somewhere far and that light shines back in.
But ya know what maybe he was right.
I locked myself in this. I shut the door on myself and anytime I see that light. I add another lock.
Not because I want to
Because I think I have to.
Because being locked in is something I'm so used to.
Being afraid,
Not knowing the consequences until it's too late.
Thinking it's too late to grab the keys and unlock the door to the light.
No it's not impossible to you,
To him,
To her,
To them.
To me it feels as if it is.
But once a week,
Once a week is becoming not enough.
So what will it take?
