Dear today
I almost missed you
Scrolling past the morning sky
Coffee cold
Excuses whispered
"I’ll start living
One day
By and by"
Dear today
I’m done writing you tomorrow
Done trading all my wonder
For a little borrowed sorrow
I’ve been saving up my courage
Till it all just fades away
So here I am
Hands shaking
But I’m choosing you
Dear today
Dear regret
You send postcards
From the exits
That I never took
Every name
I meant to call back
Lives in some forgotten
Little notebook
Dear today
I’m done writing you tomorrow
Done trading all my wonder
For a little borrowed sorrow
I’ve been saving up my courage
Till it all just fades away
So here I am
Hands shaking
But I’m choosing you
Dear today
I can’t hold the past
And hold your hand
At the same time
I can’t chase a someday
When the only day
Is mine
Dear today
I won’t write you into maybe
Won’t let “someday when I’m ready”
Be the words that always save me
If my heart is gonna break
Let it break right here
This day
I am tired of almost living
So I’m running straight
To you
Today
