Could be anything

We charted a way through the world, pushing away sand and dirt and finding ways untraveled. We used the stars to guide us & the wind to push, and somehow we still ended up lost and without a map in the dark, and that's just the way it goes. But lost & in the dark, I find myself there with her.

And if you're with the right person you find a new path, & if you're with the true person, you find the right path that maybe you were supposed to be on all along. No matter what happens I've found that my maps are rewritten and the stars change every night, but no matter what happens I've found that having her at my side, I've never felt lost a day in my life.

Without a map, without a compass, I've never felt out of place when I'm in the dark and her hands in mine. The wind sings a gentle song and guides me, and all the songs on the radio sing to me songs that were once lost on me -- but now I dance with her to them in the dark, and it all makes sense. Swaying back and forth and finding the new way.

The stars can bloom in the sky & we can see each others eyes, and we can find where we were really supposed to be in the uncharted territory -- in each others arms, humming the soft songs of the radio that maybe neither of us understood before the day we fell into one another.

& on that day she became my own north star, my one true point that guided my heart and put me back home. The wind that guided me was nothing if not her hand that came to mine softly.

And when I don't know where I'm going, when I don't know where to turn, and when my lips can't find the words to say, there's nothing I need to do but look straight ahead at her, to fall into her, and there's nothing else I need to guide me.

To guide my heart home, to the one place it's always needed to be. Anywhere with her.

With the moon above and the radio playing a soft, faded tune, I fell into her lips and fell into myself and found everything I'd ever been missing, and all of the feelings that you never knew you could have.

Blooming the same way the stars come out at night, the way I fall in love with her every day.
