I don't want to miss out on tomorrow.

For the days the storms feel like too much

***

If tomorrow starts without me

please come and drag me into it.

It's stormy here in my bedroom

and there's too much I'll miss out on:

sunrises too beautiful for cameras to capture,

smiles and laughter resulting in tears,

someone who'll complete me,

simply being alive.

Yes, I have too much to live for

to be stuck here with the storm.

If tomorrow comes and you notice me missing,

grab an umbrella and come and get me.
