Closer (Based on the Chainsmokers/Halsey song)
She enters the bar like a windswept dream. All legs and lips and eyes. God, her eyes. I remember those eyes as though I'm still losing myself in their deep green forest. I spent so many hours memorizing those eyes. My drink nearly slips out of my hand at the sight of her.
Her.
She broke my heart. Of all the things I remember about her, that's the one that matters most. But what is she doing here? Of all the weekends to check into a hotel. Of all the hotels to check into. It was this one. Of course it was. Fate has never let me off easy.
Maybe she's meeting someone. Lucky guy.
No.
I won't think like that. I refuse to. I was doing just fin
The room has suddenly gone dark and it’s as if my feet have lead weights attached to them. I start to panic. My eyes aren’t adjusting to the darkness for some reason. It’s like I’ve been thrown into the dark sea with an anchor tied to my ankle. Sinking, sinking. And yet I somehow feel weightless.
I hear my breath in the silence that surrounds me as I try to see anything around me. My eyes are straining as I reach my hands out and grasp the empty air hoping to touch something to assure me that I’m not completely alone.
Nothing.
Suddenly, a light shines on overhead and I look up. It’s dim and flickering, bu
Ill never be able to fit you on a page
Because you’re so much more than words
There’ll never be enough space to say what I feel
Because I feel so much for you it almost hurts
Tonight I’ll let the stars guide me all the way home
And by home I mean arms, and by arms I mean yours
I’m counting on these waves to bring me straight to you
I’m counting on my heart to take me to the shore
And if my heart is the ocean
And you are the sand
I’ll push myself toward you
Just to hold your hand
So don’t sink my ship, it’s the only one I have
I’m willing to get seasick tonight if you are my land
I&rsquo
And it’s these troubling truths that tear down this
Wall of flowers we've built around us, and maybe it’s
Too much to ask, too much to believe
But I believe in you, because you believe in me.
And just listen to what the warm wind blows through
Your hair, and whispers secrets so brand new
To you, to me; just reminding us we’re free
And I’m here to remind you, it’s just another Summer breeze
Knocking you off your feet.
You should know when the rain falls and sweeps your thoughts away
And takes them to a place, you thought you’d left behind
I’ve left my heart out there in the ocean waves to pull you b
You belong among the wildflowers
Where your beauty lies untouched by all but the wind
Where no one will cut you down; your stem will never bend.
So bury your roots where you feel at home
Lift your face to the sun as it sets on the horizon
And I’ll think of you on the entire ride home.
When someone said I should set you free
I was convinced I’d never let that happen to me
You’re my favorite sight in the morning, and my favorite sound at night
Watching your chest rise and fall was always my lullaby
And I was so sure I’d never know anything
That was more beautiful than the thought of you and me
But the sunset that night
