when emma falls in love (Speak Now TV, From The Vault, 2023)

and once again,

to learn to open a heart that’s weary is to

tell it to do what it was always meant to;

you would have known it all along, that

the only way ahead would have been through.

truth be told, if it isn’t for being human and curious

sometimes, i would wish to never yearn to break my heart open

i would ask to be protected from all that was painful;

wish upon Saturn to stop its ways of ensuring the longevity of lessons it wants is to learn

i know that it could never be the case, for there

was always going to be hope and love in my heart, i could only hope that it was

her (i’d assume) fortune to get to know you the way i once hoped to.
