Apologies, it's been a few weeks. I decided I'd rather spend the time to release something I feel is worthwhile than just push out halfhearted stuff for the sake of it every week. So I will continue to try and get stuff out as soon as possible, but pieces may fluctuate in regularity.

I want to watch the moon with you and dance in black and shades of blueI want to hold your face to mine, against the odds in spite of timeRough and tumble, thick and thin, rich or poor, loss or winI wonder if love is true, do people bet against the moon? Across each other we start to smile, lips separate and reconcileWe come together fingers graze, celestial bodies set ablazeOceans apart or by my side, should paths diverge or worlds collideAll the feelings, all the sights, will stay with us throughout the night When there’s nothing left for us to see, I’ll show you more and you’ll show meThe lowest lows, the highest highs, until we settle in our eyesOur lids will close, our hearts will sync, and then we’ll travel in our dreamsYour hand in mine, our breath now shared, we watch the skies, no longer scared I want to watch the moon with you, because it’s something pure and trueBut when the moon forgets just what to do, I’ll be with you to watch that too
