Amber skin.

And the sun will rise again on her.

Her skin will be amber and her hair as bright as caramel,

she'd have the look of an angel even in her devilish smile.

He'd follow her to the ends of the world,

because no one loves like she does,

No one saw the sky or the world like she imagined believed.

You could drown peacefully in her laughter,

and be saved by her tears.

She froze the mountains so that we could be closer to heaven.

He knew that beneath all that valour was someone who needed a moment,

just a moment to not carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. 

A moment to just let go under these waters,

Her great escape. Even though she was made from the rough edges 

of her soul.

Oh how the moon sought after her.

like it was oblivion coming to an end.

She never knew about all the hopes she saved,

about all the souls she brought home.

And just like that, she gave into her scars with honour,

she still breathed courage in her dark brown eyes.

And when he finally held her, almost stone cold

She told him, how she always knew he'd save her.

He'd save her even though she wasn't the one who needed saving.

For she'd let him fall deeper into her amber skin, until she let go.

Only to be a part of something greater than herself.

Beneath all the fires and oceans of her serene beauty,

He could only love her. But she saved him.

Somehow that became the love story that survived everything.
