Lost Myself In You

But I don't Mind.

By Erin ShieldsPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I lost myself in you.

I indulged myself.

But now I see through.

You lost yourself too.

We both so in love,

lost our minds-

love drunk.

Tipsy on the thought of you.

But I’d gladly order more drinks

to lose myself in you.

I’d gladly dip my toes in the sand,

take that first leap to no where -

So long as you're by my side,

'cos I’d go anywhere with you.

I know we can make it out alive.

I’m no longer trapped inside.

I lost myself in you,

but that is alright.

I won’t put up a fight.

'Cos in your mind,

it's cosier than mine.

No demons to fight away;

So I whisper in your ears:

"I think I'd like to stay.

Tell me that's okay?"
