First Song for Lauren by Matthew Milia

Dangerously sizing
Everything too soon
Scorpio rising
Libra moon

Where her cosmic curtains bleed
The sunlight in the morning
The only star sign I need

Nothing will ever scare me
Like the chance of something good
When it seems like it’ll happen
There’s no reason that it should

But her karaoke tune
Is the sound inside my worry
It’s the lump inside my throat this afternoon

Forty days till I can settle down
And see you in the morning
Together in that same town
Where I used to wait for something that was good
And I’m scared to know that you’re the one that could
