Skipping Stones - Mutual Benefit

You are the first thing I see

When I open my eyes when I wake from a dream

You’re the light through a rip in the seams

Burst forth from the night onto dust as it gleams

But with the morning sun we also see

Blurry shapes appear so gradually

I’m so afraid to feel this way again

But I let you in

Love is the loudest of sounds

It’s the hymn in the air, it’s the dirge from the ground

You’ve got a hold over me

Until my world disappears and you’re all I see

But in solitude we’re often chased

By the truths we are afraid to face

And it takes more than just a fleeting dream

To set us free

Like how we tried to skip a sinking stone

Just to watch how long that it could go

I’m so afraid to fall in love again

I know how it ends

And if I try and skip a sinking stone

Maybe it’ll be the one that goes

Forever as it starts its flight

Towards the horizon line
