Sparks Fly

Fireworks aren't always instantaneous. 

Sometimes, you have to assemble the fireworks one ingredient at a time 

& then, after a while, a moment of spontaneous combustion takes place 

as the hearts of two people ignite into a beautiful showpiece of love & real life. 

Yeah, I think the best fireworks, the awe inspiring, great romantic ones, 

burst out of the accumulation of hard work & intentional loving. 

The kind of loving that doesn't come easy. 

The kind of loving that's hesitant at first, 

but slowly and softly opens the heart to find 

what it never knew it desired.

I am not afraid of you

 Closing the distance between you and me,

Bewildered by the act of my unplanned bravery.

One thing I know for sure to be true.

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

The air is cold and I can barely breath,

But somehow I manage to form words to speak.

Your eyes draw me in, soft and blue,

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

I want to run away from your charm,

I want to hide away in your arms,

I want to memorize every moment until you're out of view,

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you.

Courageously I rescue my heart before it's too late.

There's something about you, but I'm going to choose to wait. 

The compass of my feelings never guided me to towards truth.

You scare me more than anyone, but I am not afraid of you. 

I take a step back making a gap between you and me,
Time will only tell, whatever the outcome may be,

One thing I can promise, no matter what we may go through.

I'm not afraid of anything- not even afraid to be scared of you.
