Maybe you'll catch the one

And maybe you'll sing it too...

Some words can’t just be spoken, they need to be sung, and so I don’t bring you a poem today, instead I bring you a song.

And a voice with so much heart, it brought these words to life.

Maybe you'll catch the one

Lie to me as I lie to you—
tell me it won't end,
and we'll believe it’s true.

Let’s sing together a love song—
"it's us", let's pretend,
allow me being wrong.

[Pre-chorus]
As I write these verses—
verses you’ll never read,
I confess my feelings—
the same I never hid.

[Chorus]
Maybe you'll catch the one,
before it wears too thin,
maybe you'll catch the one,
before it leaves my skin.
[x2]

Lie to me—I'll lie to myself—
tell me it won't end,
I'll believe in ourselves.

Let’s sing together a sad song—
"it's us", let's pretend,
in this song I belong.

[Pre-chorus 2]
As I write these lyrics—
lyrics you’ll never hear,
I sign my name in them,
with the last of my tears.

[Chorus 2]
Maybe you'll catch the one,
before it hits the ground,
maybe you'll catch the one,
as it dies with the sound.
[x2]

Maybe you'll catch the one…

[x3]

Music makes everything a little more bearable, even heartbreak. Especially heartbreak.

I want to thank to my friend Jewel who gave this song what I couldn’t: a voice that understood heartbreak and still wouldn’t break.

As I wrote the lyrics, she wrote the music, and now you can actually hear these verses! 😁

We all have melodies that live only in our chests. What's yours? What words are waiting for their rhythm?

Do you want to keep reading poetry after this song? I gotcha:

What will you do?

Thanks for reading, and until next time. 😊
