An Ode to my Escape
For my love, lost but not forgotten
Maybe, in time, we will be together again, but until then I bide my time
------------------------------
Today, I wake in a bath of sunlight
Filling my room with the clean warmth of freedom
Thinking back, I know not of a moment
Where I was farther from unrest
I like to pretend the blanket is you wrapping me
In your arms as you whisper what I want to hear in my ear
Sweet dreams slip from me as I fight the night away
And open my eyes to a brand new day, a brand new feeling
Escape.
Yours is the first face I saw this morning
I doubt you know what that means to me, and
Maybe I don't know what that means to me
I still thought it was a part of my perfect dream
I wanted a magical feeling to spread through my body
And take me to an elevated state of mind, to find a social mecca
Then to have the secrets of the world injected into me all at once
But, instead I got to experience a sense of total comfort
Escape.
Twenty-one and still going on in a not-so-strong sort of way,
But, I'm going; and that's more than I can say for many people
I've met along my way to where I am today:
Lost in thought, lost in love, lost in finances, found in belonging
You're my prize at the end of the day, my love,
And though you will never know why I can't tell you
I celebrate the time we spend together more and even more
Here's to a million more experiences with you
Escape.
Let's run away together.
Maybe, in time, we will be together again, but until then I bide my time
