about

This is how it starts.

(yes, the end is on purpose.)

lyrics

This is how it starts. Not in the best of times, but the darkest; with an ascent far above the treetops and a conversation no one else can hear; with texts that fly until 5am across states and time zones.

This is how it starts. Not with an elaborate date, but with a pack of Oreos and talk of fake boyfriends, with difficult breakups and foggy days.

This is how it starts. With shared pursuits, yes, but also with a quiet moment together late at night that somehow feels stolen; with questions about the homework I didn't need answered; with hesitant hellos and hopeful goodbyes.

This is how it starts: with a commitment to letting myself fall despite the long way down, to showing someone the parts of me I think are special...


...and hiding all of that from the world until I am sure.
