cold, cobalt night

there is something about this room without you,
more silent, so pointless, no sour smell of brew
and you'll laugh about it later, about my tangled hair, too
and you'll know it wasn't really just the room that was blue.

your hands freeze up quickly, but your eyes still glow
as we run out of words and places to go
i breathe in and breathe out – “i think you should know,
that i've never felt this way about anyone before.”

and the sun falls, the sky fades into twilight
we stay there, hearts beating like birds taking flight
our noses grow chilly, the hot sting of frostbite
but we build ourselves a home in the cold, cobalt night.

my fleeting youth, golden, bathed in rays of sun
is yours now, when it used to belong to none
because i didn't believe some things you said, but i believe that you're the one
who this love song is for, and i've only just begun.
