Is there any
catching you
before I fall away?
Because I am finally tired
of falling apart
and feeling small
in a big way

Even in times of uncertainty,
you are my only dream:
if this dream is turning
into my greatest nightmare
where I stood tall,
ready to give you the earth,
mountains and seas
only to watch you leave,
then I will just leave
before I hit the ground

There’s no need to panic,
I’m not gonna freak out,
I know you’re coming with me
I will wait patiently,
take personal time
to become whole-
stop walking away
before you miss ‘us’
and find yourself up late,
all alone
playing our favorite re-runs
looking for the same escape
that you’ve left me in
to re-learn how to grow

We started out on
a rocky landing,
my mentality set in dismay
only for the road to crumble
right when your heart
wasn’t set on giving up,
and to hold on in the way
that you have,
I can’t tell you less than
it was a life you saved
in order to create
our new world
and be on the right path

And it was then when
I became forever yours;
we shouldn’t dispose of
the sweat and tears
used to keep this road paved,
right when I’m about to
turn the corner-
we’re hanging on
by one last wish,
and if you’d have me
I’d like it to be long-lasting
because our love,
it flows automatic
