Hannah

Hannah's friends were watching
when she met him at the end of the bar
Hannah's friends were thinking
that he wouldn't even make it that far
'This is for you,' he said,
her gaze unbroken as she licked her spoon
He put his hand in his pocket,
and pulled out the moon
He gave it to her,
her breathing stumbled and her eyes became wide
And as she swallowed cream,
she could already feel him inside

She'd seen similar before,
a book, a ring, a key, and more
But never as clever and as clean and as pure

And he said,
'You're the one, you're the only one I've been waiting for,'
So she took his eyes and trusted,
and they slipped through the door

Texas girl in New York,
don't call her naive
Though she's seen it before,
she just risks to believe
She still has the faith in her battered ideals and she,
she still holds the courage to scale her fears
Well spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind
Most lose hope when thatт
