The love of her life.

The man she’d pushed away because she’d been too cowardly to trust him.

I can’t love you

I can’t want you

I just can’t

Because you cut and run

You don’t stay

You only see mirages

I am real.

I am love, I’m fire and pain

I’m bits and pieces forever broken

Can you see them?

Instead of running

Can you help heal them?

Love is staying

Love is working

Love is fighting

With each other and for each other.

I am real.

I am love, I’m fire and pain

I’m bits and pieces forever broken

Can you see them?

Instead of running

Can you help heal them?

From out of nowhere, her song took a new direction. One that felt so right, she closed her eyes and let the words flow.

If my scars map the loves I have lived

Then, I want you to be the destination

You’re my home.

Let me be yours

I know that you’re mine
