words

If I could find a way to put it into words 

I would tell you something like 

The mirror won't crack 

Even if you throw a rock at it 

Even though I know you don't want to 

If my words could come together in a way that made sense 

I would say something along the lines of 

This will never not scare me (I'm scared of a lot of things) 

But you don't scare me 

And 

I need safety 

If I lived in a world where I didn't have to toss around in my mind 

A dozen ways to say the same damn thing 

Maybe I would try to say 

You can run or hide 

You can say what you think you should

But I can see it 

And  

I still think there is (more) light 

And it will find a way 

If tonight I could stitch together more than just some lyrics without a melody 

I would tell you that you are so brave 

So very very brave 

And you're doing the right thing (so proud) 

Keep pushing forward 

You are worth this 

If there was a time when words came easy 

I would tell you 

And you 

And you 

And you 

(You're all on my mind) 

That you're loved 

So loved
