He was always there waiting—
for nights when she needed to run away from;
for nights she wanted to run away with.

(a bubble, safe haven, nomadic)

Why do you wait?
(because the world seems to drown you in thorns,
so I want to shower you in pearls)

because feelings are first

and maybe that has to only be when the world sleeps.
