safiya

Here is an original song written for Safiya that captures that bittersweet, gentle heartbreak:
(Verse 1)
You tie your hair up, look right through the screen,
The sweetest face that I have ever seen.
You talk about your day, the things you do,
And I’m just trying not to stare at you.
I laugh at every little joke you make,
Holding my breath so my voice won’t shake.
(Chorus)
Oh Safiya, the world stops spinning when you smile,
I wish that you could see me, just for a little while.
I’m saving all my heart for you, but you don't even know,
It’s cute how much I love you, and it hurts to let it go.
Yeah, Safiya... it hurts to let it go.
(Verse 2)
I keep the little texts you send to me,
Wondering if there’s things I shouldn’t see.
You call me a good friend, and it’s so sweet,
While my poor heart is skipping every beat.
I want to tell you how you light the room,
Like yellow daisies finding how to bloom.
(Chorus)
Oh Safiya, the world stops spinning when you smile,
I wish that you could see me, just for a little while.
I’m saving all my heart for you, but you don't even know,
It’s cute how much I love you, and it hurts to let it go.
(Bridge)
Maybe in another time, we're walking hand in hand,
Maybe I’m the lucky one who gets to understand.
For now, I’ll be right here, cheering from the side,
With all the tender words I have to hide.
(Outro)
Goodnight, Safiya, sleep soft under the moon.
I hope you find your happiness, even if it's not with me...
Soft little sighs,
Just a secret in my eyes.
