Miroslava

I always thought they were lighthouses
And one day I’ll befriend them
Crossing blanket night sky only
In the darkness of December
You met me on a corner of the city
Shivering bones, black cotton and leather
Tangled up in curled hair
You always could remember

Now I am years removed from the day I caught the gaze
Burned through walls internal and set my heart ablaze
She says that I am loved, words that I’d sing into the wild
Even when my mind reacts like a stupid little child

I dreamt of you for years whilst in the belly of a mountain
Your crescent moon waxes and wanes over me
Brings the light to the darkened contours of the valleys
In a life that we will share again and again and again

She says that I am loved, words that I’d sing into the wild
Even when my mind reacts like a stupid little child
I dare believe it
The words, I mean it
I bring myself before you
And swear in your name
And in my heart

I know it’s you who know it’s I who knows it’s you
