Electric Shocks on Aching Bones
So I finally dragged myself out of my writing slump and came up with this. It's probably complete drivel but I'll let you be the judge. The Lyics are from "It's beginning to get to me" and "You're all I have" by Snow Patrol.
And it’s beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Then I do of what’s in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed.
Actually that doesn’t bother me that much anymore. So I don’t know everything about you. So what? That simply means I have something to work towards. Something to aspire to. And even if I don’t know everything about you. Even if I don’t know how you’re going to react in any given situation or what exactly is going through your head right now. I know enough.
I know that you make me smile.
I know that you make me laugh.
I know that you are one of the few people who can make me feel better.
I know that even though I shouldn’t. I love you.
And that’s worth a lot more than the stars and sea.
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
It’s taken me a while to realise it, but you are all that I need. Just spending five minutes with you, reading text messages from you, hearing you voice preserved by my voice mail. It’s enough to get me through the day. Through whatever rubbish I’m facing.
Just writing you a letter clears my head. Even though it feels like the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
I look towards the future, with all its confusion and uncertainty and questions. And there’s only one thing I know for sure. That you are a part of my future. What part I don’t know. But you will be there. Everything else can come and go; everything else can melt away like snow in spring time.
But you will be the one constant.
I take comfort in that when I can’t sleep.
You're cinematic, razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones
I love you.
I shouldn’t do. I know there are a million, nay a billion reasons why I shouldn’t. Why I should search high and low for someone else. But I know the search would be worthless.
Because it’s you. You’re the one I want. I wish I could say when that became the case. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and change it. But that’s how things stand.
I love you.
