Taking Part in the Sound

Taking Part in the Sound

That felt like all the love I ever had,
wound up in moments I had a while ago.
Felt like fleeting, heart still beating,
drums taking part in my sound.

I can't tell you what transpired,
or the hurt and heartbreak I found.
But it felt like fleeting, a heart stopping beating,
drums beat slowing my sound.

I can tell you what moments,
oh the happy moments, of heartbreak sounds.
But sure to be meeting, that would be me just fleeing,
back to comfortable grounds.


But let me tell you of love
of sweet uncomfortable love,
the kind that makes us want and tell our truths.

It comes in the moments
oh sweetheart, heartbreak moments,
when we tell the hardest truths first.

So this is love,
giving away love,
letting it flee on its way.

And let me tell you dear,
through all of the fear,
we still have the smiles on our face.
