Wide Open

When I first saw you 
There was a light in your eyes
But it was starting to go out
I thought
Well, he’s just like me
Spirit cracked but not broken

I wondered if we could
Help each other heal
Return TO our places before the fall
When we were wide open
When we were wide open

So we started to talk
for hours and hours
about everything that had come before
We didn’t know exactly 
where we were going
we just learned to trust our feelings 
more and more

There were times when we were scared 
There were times of great pain
But we pushed through
To wide open
We pushed through 
To stay wide open 

Do you remember the
First time you cried in my arms?
You said you felt completely seen
Do you remember my darkest time?
You held me close and said
I love you
I love you

I look at you now 
With such strong light in your eyes
It radiates, it radiates
We’ve gone through so much
To reach this place
Part of me 
wants to stay here forever

But you have everything you need my love
To live as you always dreamed
You hid it safely long ago in your heart
Waiting for our time of rediscovery
So look inside now through these lens we’ve made
With your feelings as guides, return to that old room
Go inside and embrace whatever you find
Then let it go and it will dissolve
and you’ll be wide open
finally wide open
