glitter in the air

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

ask yourself all of these questions
& sometimes, you don't need an answer

i think of all the things that have happened to me so far, and at the time, problems seemed so big, projects seemed to matter but now its just a memory, something you've grown stronger from.

imagine all of your life's major problems, they'll fade away into nothingness just like that time you didn't bring your textbook to a super strict teacher's class, or you and your best friend were quarrelling and now its nothing.

like a scar, it leaves small marks on your character, shaping you into a person.
