The power of delusion.

I am the exception and I live how I love,
I live low, aim high and strive for far and far above
I'm caught, I'm yours and you treasure me dear,
My radiance explains why you're wanting me here.

I'm confident in relighting our little old flame,
I'm brave in looking at "us" like it's a game,
I play this go, and shake my hair nonchalently
And we look to the stars, of who we are now and who we will be.

I am the mountain flag you've been climbing up to for days,
I am your ocean deep, I'm the tide, the glitter and the waves
I'm your Eve without the apple, and your princess without a crown
I'm the mirror that reflects the sun, your world is apparently brighter if I'm around.

I am sitting in this garden, wild with roses and of bees,
You're climbing strong but getting tangled within all the trees
I'm on top of Kilamingiro, near the stars we used to know
Holding it close..fooling myself, I tell myself, "just, let it go".

Truth be told, you're not just a game
Neither my reserve or an insurance claim,
It was you who looked at stars, whilst I just looked at you
It was me who got tangled, and me, not knowing what to do.

I played my go, and sit there waiting, and waiting
You're tangled in trees, but I'm still chasing, still chasing.

I'm moving like the waves, lapping onto the shore
One second and I'm retracting after you, following you out the door
I'm running after you, so fast, like Eve ran fast to redemption,
But i know you were always the rule, and I'll never be the exception.
