Skipping Stones

You are the first thing I see
When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream
You’re the light through a rip in the seams
Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams
But with the morning sun we also see
Blurry shapes appear so gradually
I’m so afraid to feel this way again
But I let you in
Love is the loudest of sounds
It’s the hymn in the air, it’s the dirge from the ground
You’ve got a hold over me
Until my world disappears and you’re all I see
But in solitude we’re often chased
By the truths we are afraid to face
And it takes more than just a fleeting dream
To set us free
Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone
Just to watch how long that it could go
I’m so afraid to fall in love again
I know how it ends
And if I try and skip a sinking stone
Maybe it’ll be the one that goes
Forever as it starts its flight
Towards the horizon line
