fall for me.

A rose free of thorns
The music next door
Your ear against the wall
That moment you recall
You were falling asleep, were you thinking of me?
Every smile reeks of you
Your delicacy looms

You're the silence as the sun surrenders
The places no one dares to venture
The morning in its wake
These feelings I can't shake

Downpour soaks your hair
Can't help but catch my stare
Smitten with your eyes
The beauty and the wise
Crimson stains my skin each time I let you in
I was bathing in your touch
Assured and succor-struck

And I know that it's quite premature
But I'm convinced, darling I'm sure
That what we have is what you see on screens
How lucky was I for you to fall for me?

Polyester sleeves
The clarity I breathe as your lips connect to mine
Fate between the lines
Forever seems surreal, but I'll accept it just to feel
The eternity of you and the little things you do

Infatuated with the thought
I'm the spitting image of who you are
And what we have is something quite unseen
How lovely is it that you fell for me?

Can't help but say it makes me nervous
Still and naive on the surface
Afraid that this was all a ruse
Am I even the first person that you'd choose
In a crowd of strangers with my name?
A million faces all the same
Would you see me among the madness?
Help me break these anxious habits?
Praying I'm just overthinking
Begging you to give a reason
Through it all your love's consistent
Despite my ill at ease resistance
My tears leaking through your hands
A world where someone understands
That I deserve all that you've given
Indebted that you dared to listen

I know it's clear that you're committed
But promise me if we drifted
You'd remember everything we made

Every rose has its thorns
But darling, never yours
Our ears against the wall
A moment to recall...
