An underlying love

It would seem inconspicuous to everyone else
I'm just listening to music, after all
But deep down inside, the rhythm of the drums
Awakens future memories, if you will 

A wish to steal a kiss at one past midnight
Under the stars in the middle of a selfie
To capture the first one forever in one frame

A longing to sing like no ones watching
Because, Even though I can feel those eyes
I know that they would never judge me

I want to take the weight off your shoulders
I want you to tell me everything I don't know
I want to be what you think of first every day

I know it can't happen soon
But it'll never hurt you to keep on dreaming
And all I want is you after all

It soothes me to see you safe
Away from things and people who hurt you
Even if I can't take their place right now

Keep your faith in me, darling
After all, my words are covered with sugar
And you know I'd never hurt you

Trust me and my ability to help you
Trust me with all of your deepest fears
Trust me to love you from the shadows
And trust me to always, always be here

Don't forget about me
When you embark on your next adventure
And know I'll be watching

I'll be here to protect you
And here to cushion every time you fall
Without fail, every time

That's what I'm here for, after all
