Chapter 97 - Bleed through...

I don't know how you do it...

But whenever I see you

My world starts to melt...

You bring me a feeling

That I've never felt,

And my heart skips a beat

Then tumbles to my belt...

-

Turn my body to fluid...

You've played me a hand

That nobody has delt...

Got my heart on my sleeve,

Peel it off like a pelt.

You can dig in your nails,

Leave me covered in welts...

-

Yeah.

Yeah.

-

Step back...

Now breathe in.

Hm.

I may only be around

For the season.

Hm.

But I want to settle down,

Need a reason.

My love is ready to just resound,

Let it breeze in.

Look...

We both have past

That are intimidating.

We can heal together

Let's be better,

I'm insinuating

That we could be more

Than what your minds

Been looking for,

But nothing here is worth the time

If you won't let me in the door.

-

Made a promise to myself

That I won't chase

A love this year.

But I struggle

When I see your face,

I yearn to hold you dear,

And hold you near,

And kill those fears

That have been haunting you for years,

But I can't let myself

Forget myself,

Who else will guard my rear?

-

Yeah.

Yeah.

-

I melt a little more

Every time I see you...

May as well just be a ghost

My affections,

They just bleed through...

And I hope

True love precedes you.

May it lift

And not defeat you.

May he give you

What I can't,

All of his time

May he believe you.

But I can't...

I have to go.

Can't circumvent

The walls you've built.

And if I keep on trying

Over, and

Over,

I'll tumble until

I am killed...

Can't swim anymore,

Both my lungs have been filled

With the promise of more,

And with that, I can't live...

I will leave you with that,

I will tip you my hat,

And I hope that your greatest dreams

All become real.

-

I'll still melt when I see you...
