Awake
I wake up
It's not like the groggy mornings
That I'm so tired of
No, I'm finally awake
You wake me up
I never saw reality so clearly
My eyes aren't glazed over from lies
The fog has cleared
And all I see is you
But I'm not blind to the world
You help me see the world
In a different light
For once it feels real
For once I grasp love
Holding it in my hand
Instead of jumping into the sky for it
Instead of desperately clinging for it
My brain and heart are in sync
I know what I want
I know what I need
And they are one
I want you
I need you
Like I want the sun
Like I need the sun
Reality has never been so blissful
It's never been so
Real
I've never looked at tomorrow
The way I do now
I used to look at it with dread
And once, when I was blind
I saw it only as perfection
Like nothing could go wrong
Now I know anything could go wrong
But if it does you'll still be there
You'll hold my hand until it's over
I can face anything with you
You can't stop it from happening
But you can stay
If you leave
I don't think reality would exist anymore
It would come
Crashing
