All Dolled Up

A nice long drive clears the mind.

~ Let's go somewhere together. ~

I'm all dolled up in the passenger side.

You're speeding down the highway late at night.

The moon light bounces off your face.

One-twenty an hour, but I've never felt so safe.

I'm all dolled up, but we have no where to go.

You're passing all the exits that lead home.

Your eyes are glistening and mouth is stuck in a smile.

We've been here now for a little while.

I'm all dolled up just for you again.

We both forget about the roads ahead.

Your hand fits so perfectly holding mine.

All the sudden, everything feels right this time.

I'm all dolled up feeling like a star.

Do you know how much you really have of my heart?

One hand on the wheel, you bring my hand up to your lips.

You gently place a sweet sweet kiss.

I'm all dolled up, feeling this high.

I'm hoping this will be a long ride.

I like being in the passenger side,

While we drive down the highway late at night.

City Streets

There will always be obstacles on the road. 

~ Keep driving. ~

We're driving down these city streets,

Your hand firmly holding mine.

You stop the car and our eyes meet.

The words spill out of my lips.

I've opened a door to a room we've never been.

You keep driving down these city streets.

There's a hole I'm digging myself in.

I try to reword my thoughts.

One second your eyes leave the road to reach me,

And finally you open up your mouth.

You turn right, almost on my street.

The words flood in my ears.

I already know what you were going to say,

But the words still catch me off guard.

I've never been more afraid.

We're almost on my street.

Now you're driving down my road

About to take the final turn.

I turn away so you can't see where I let my thoughts go.

Your hand's still in mine.

All the thoughts take over me.

I was afraid this was the end of the road,

But then you smile so perfectly.

And, I know we're only at the beginning of our street.

Thoughts change and there's room to grow.

Now you're sharing wonderful thoughts with me.

We'll find a path on our own road.

We'll create our own street.

Your hand still holds firmly mine.

You stop the car and our eyes meet.

You give me a sweet kiss goodnight.

I love driving down these city streets.

Castle

Sometimes all we need is a place to feel at ease.

~ Let it live forever in our memories. ~

Five in the morning.

I couldn't sleep last night,

But then I turn around to see your eyes.

I've been learning

How to leave my past behind,

But now only thoughts of you are in my mind.

Pure white sheets.

My ghosts are still haunting.

You place your arm safely around me.

I've been healing

From the ailments in my past.

You embrace me, making it all worth it at last.

Sun in the window.

I thought darkness was a way to live.

Finally, you're the ray of hope shining in.

I've been dreaming

For those fairytales to come true.

Finally, the person I've been dreaming of is you.

Our own castle.

This was worth the wait.

I finally found the place where I feel safe.

I've been searching

For a way out of my dissatisfaction.

Now I've found someone I never imagined.

Our own sanctuary.

Nothing can touch us

In here because it's built on love.

Now I'm happy.

I know that as I wake by your side.

You can't take your morning eyes off of mine.

In our own castle,

The rest of the world fades away.

There's nothing else we need but one more day.

Pull

Open the door to what could be. 

~ Give in the the pull.~

This isn't what I had expected. 

I never thought I'd be this tempted,

but there you stand across the room,

and I already feel a pull to you.

You're beautiful and so magnetic,

The chemistry is so energetic.

I have never felt this way.

I'm just hoping that you'll stay.

All the other people begin to blur.

All I see is one single fleur

de lis that matches mine.

You're the one I needed to find.

I don't know how I let you in so easily.

All the others fought, as I stayed free,

but I give in in no time this time.

You already have a hold of my mind.

When I finally reach you, you don't leave.

I hope you'll stay around to see what's underneath.

Just look at how many times you've restored my faith

in something I thought only for a magical place.

You've made me believe magic is real.

I know it's real in everything we feel.

It's not just a tale for old souls to say.

Now it's our story we live each day.

You're beautiful and so tempting.

This was never what I was expecting,

but the stories they tell are true.

I have found my prince in you.

I couldn't have predicted this. 

You're the answer to my every wish. 

I  follow the temptingly magnetic pull to you. 

I walk to you from across the room. 

Salvation

Sometimes all you need is a steady anchor to save you. 

~ Stop the ride. ~

I was stuck on an endless rotation,

A carnival ride that wouldn't end. 

I didn't know all I needed was salvation,

One steady thing to bring me back again. 

I was comfortable always looking down,

Thinking what I saw was all I'd ever see.

When I wasn't looking you came around.

You stopped this ride for me.

I was content living in my comfortable state.

I thought this was the way to live my life, 

But I was afraid of an unpredictable fate.

I was afraid to get off this dizzy ride.

You came around, when I thought i didn't need it.

So effortlessly you changed me.

You came around and saved me from my demons.

So effortlessly you saved me.

You broke me out of this endless cycle.

You don't even know all you've done.

You helped me make my life full

And realize what I could truly become.

You helped me off this carnival ride finally.

No more endless rotation. 

Because the day you met me,

Is the day I finally found salvation.

Crystal Heart

Sometimes fate finds you when you least expect it.

~ Be patient. ~

Your voice is still clear in my mind.

I still feel your arms holding me close.

We said goodnight quite some while ago,

But you're stuck in my mind like a song I know. 

I hold my breath until I see you again.

You replay the last recording in your mind.

Minutes suddenly become millenniums,

And our thoughts ache more with time.

We wake up and fall asleep again.

A crystal heart hangs from a chain.

We find each other in our dreams.

Pictures add up to sums in frames.

Finally, I see your face and it lights up,

As though you're meeting a queen.

You hold me even closer,

As if we were apart for an eternity.

We walk in the crowded city,

Just two people part of an entire sea,

But we're the only ones who matter.

We're the only ones we see.

You see me shiver in the outside air 

And wrap one arm around me.

Like two pieces in a puzzle,

Our fingers intertwine so perfectly.

Your eyes are locked onto mine.

My head finds home on your chest.

We've found our fantasies in each other.

Our active minds can finally rest.
