Laila from mild by mildred

Laila want to meet you real soon
Though I’ve only known your face for an hour or two
Its more about me and less about you
that I went to a dream you fit right into

I’ve got this book, going to make everything change
I was in the trap of passing on things
Lets make a pact to not worry again
I fell in love so easily then

Laila, want to chop up with you
Go for a walk, find a nice view
Maybe there’s something worth getting into

With all the things we fear to lose
How do people choose the people they choose
We could see that through when we know what to do
With our lives at our age there’s a lot to think through
So Laila, in the meantime lets meet
Quick with our thoughts and light on our feet
Sit with today, let that be enough
Life moves real fast but we can keep up

Laila, is that what you want
Since I don’t think it would do any harm
To just figure out what page you want to be on

Laila, unfurl and undo,
like pebbles in dry hands, let sift and fall through
I could go right back to the old place again
But heavy things fall to let light things back in

Its been a while since I let someone in
Want to get down to it, scrape up my shins
Pull back the curtain and let the light in

Laila, want to meet you real soon
Though I’ve only known your face for an hour or two
Its more about me, and less about you
that I went to a dream that you fit right into.
