Up, Up, Up Goes The Volume On My Fairytales About You.

[My mom always told me not to talk to strangers,
but she never told me i couldn't fall for one.]


We met through friends, shook hands
& tiny chats grew to conversations
to walks through the deep, dark night



ever since you walked into my life,
i can't sleep in my bed the same
it doesn't feel as right as when i'm lying with you.

Any guy can walk beside me,
but nobody fills the spot better than you.



& when my hands feel weak & disabled,
your hands are the only ones I want to hold.


[in the corners of my eyes,
i feel love residing
but, I can't breathe too soon.]


I don't want you to run away like everyone else
but, I know you can't promise that.


I know I'm young,
but my dreams can be turned into
full-length, Broadway musicals
& yeah, yeah:
              I know I should probably stopppp.


[I kinda sorta can't help it, baby]

[You stole the slide shows of my nightmares
& cranked up the volume on my fairy tales.]

Author notes

yeap.


I'm a hopeless romantic.
I should probably stop.
It just gets me in trouble.

Leaves Eyes - Leaves Eyes
Moonlight you keep me safe at night
And I know you're here if I fall
Starlight show me the way in the dark
And I know you're here when I call

    Nothing wrong with being a hopeless romantic, as long as you have an equal measure of cynisism tucked away for use when necessary . I am presuming you are quite young, and on that basis, I'll say I rather like this. I think it could be tweaked slightly here and there, for greater impact, but overall it's good. Left me with a smile anyway :-) Thanks for entering.
