The beginning and the end When you slept on my lap on the bus something whooshed over me and I was fundamentally changed My pretzel legs were cramped my arm was numb and I was worried about an 8 hour trip of misery And then you sighed And your pink swollen face nuzzled into my thigh And I was mesmerized And nothing hurt anymore Like magic I just smiled at your sweet sleepy head All I want is to be the squishiest softest safest place for you I'd never felt so much love explode in my chest I've never felt anything close to it, not terror, not sadness, not laughing until I pee I didn't think a feeling could be so physical I loved you before that moment, but from behind a wall And then you sighed and I knew I could never be proud again I knew you had my head and my heart and I knew that you could hurt me |
