Somewhere along the journey
He grew tired of
Explaining to
People why they should pick him,
Why he was good enough.
And everyone fell away
Except the ones who were meant to stay;
Love.

Oh my friend
All our lives
(Since i can remember)
Your heart has ached
And try as i might
(in this life that we have known)
I cannot carry the weight
For you
(I realize this as we grow old)
Though I tried when we were young
(Helplessly)
I keep
hope.
I am here
(In the silence, through the tears)
And here i will stay
By your side
(Through the years)
She loved the way he stayed.
The way
He waited
So patiently
For her to undress
Until she was completely
Naked,
Baring her soul.
She saw reflected in his heart
A beauty she had never seen before.
As her eyes met his
She realized he had no intention
Of ever giving her a chance to redress herself.
It happens
At night.
The doubt climbs
Onto me
From the inside out
To sit upon my chest
And steal my breath.
There it encourages me to stay.
Safe in my head.
Begs me to lay
Safe in my bed.
There is a glint,
A hint in her eyes
Of what is yet to
Come.
And so,
You choose to stay.
And so,
You begin to breathe again
Without
Thinking.
