Safe & Sound

You are probably the biggest dork
With the biggest heart,
And I’ll never get over the love you give me.
Every day I like to remind the world,
“Vic is mine.”

I sometimes wonder
How you could be real.
The way you play your guitar on stage,
Your voice not once slipping up a note.
My eyes are shining as I watch you.

Some nights,
We’re still awake at 3 AM,
Singing together with the lights down low.
Afterwards, you pull me onto your lap.
Then we look back at the beginning:

We were in the rain.
Your dark hair was plastered to your face,
My makeup was streaming down my cheeks.
Your fingers ran through my soaked blonde locks,
And I felt your lips for the first time.

People wanted to make excuses
For why we shouldn’t be together.
The distance or the age difference,
Or even that you’re not good enough for me.
But I know how I feel.

You hold me in your sleep, creating a warmth
That no blanket or fire could ever match.
Come morning when I open my eyes,
You nuzzle into my neck and chuckle.
This is better than my dreams.

When I cry
You just kiss my tears and hug my waist.
Then in the softest voice, you say to me,
“Darling, you’ll be okay.”
And I believe you.

The insecurities are fading away.
All my surroundings appear brighter.
Whenever you’re around,
I’m not afraid to smile anymore.
That’s all I ever do.

It’s been five years,
You’ve done something to me.
This would’ve scared me off as a teenager.
My life has turned around all because
I’ve fallen in love with you.

I don’t understand
How I lived so long before meeting you.
You are so much better than music.
When I’m with you, I feel safe and sound.
Like I’m home.
