New Leaf (Lyric) by dragonfly

As does the fog of the bay creep he comes to blanket me and all my usual worries do not matter now as I revel in the beauty that lies in the sight of him asleep And so the walls I built erode to debris My only defense is a pile at my feet I'm turning a new leaf He drifts along in the upsweep of a stream that empties into me and he takes refuge in my keep and all my usual worries do not matter now as I'm watching him asleep And so the walls I built erode to debris My only defense is a pile at my feet And this is a battle I will not retreat I'm turning a new leaf

Thanks for the comment. I wanted to capture that feeling of "willing vulnerability," as you put it. It's incredible how much a person can change once they find someone who is right for them. The moment when other people began to notice the glow in my face served as the inspiration to write this.
