lyrics

I chased a lightning bug through a narrow field of weeds
I took so many thoughtless steps my body seemed to follow his lead.
When the night reached my age I laid my head down
And when the grass hugged my toes
We chased each other again.

A leaf attached to a branch
By barely a thread.
A constant in my shaky life.
To me: my best friend.
Will you walk lighter when you’re walking on a cloud?
I know that with time legs grow weak
But my love for you can’t.
Though I felt the real in others words before
Until now they were just grains of sand.

We chased each other again
He laid his parts against my skin.
We had conversations about the things that made me hurt.
He told me to remember who I am. He told me.

Maybe these last 15 years have only been a walk through a narrow field.

You’re engraved into my skin like a freckle or a mole.
So when you leave this world I’ll see you smiling in my soul.
My lightning bug.
