All I see is

Rebekah guarding me with her right arm
As this car pulls out in front of us and she slams on the brakes

Hope handing me a lavender plant
Saying it will help me sleep at night

And Joseph
Joseph hugging her immediately when he hears the reason why

And then hugging me
Clutching the back of my shirt as he's about to leave the country

Hannah showing up at my door with a Sprite
So that I'll start feeling better

Baylie just understanding

Mrs. Betsy always calling me a smart woman

Nick and Matthew asking how I'm really doing

And it's all I can see
Those shocking moments where I realize
Wait, I'm actually here--
I see how beautiful these people are
I realize I am something
It's not the same talking through a phone screen,
We're losing out
And I've been counting down the days
And I know you do the same
And I know you do the same
