Today We Fly
I've written you a hundred letters - yet
by the end my words have fallen flat
And so I wait until you
breathe life into my heart again
And then I try again
But there are feelings that - no language - can express
And I have your name written on
the back of my hand
the side of my neck
the front of my mind
And yet my breath still shakes when I dial your number
picture you whispering on the other line
fingers running through tangled hair
My heart full of - too many words - as I smile like a fool into the phone
Do you know how often our memories lie on my lips
ready to spill over
And how often I've burst into tears
the minute you shut the car door
because I miss your arms even when
they're holding me
Because sometimes it - overwhelms me - down to my toes
How many times will I tell the sky about you
how I'm so happy that it
fills me up
And these days I laugh until I cry
because my head is full
but my heart is light
And so as we walk blindly to tomorrow - today you and I - today we fly.
