Take your time.
I’m in no rush.
I will show you that I am there
When you need
me.
I’m always going to be responsive to you.
If you come to me, I will always receive
you.
If you touch me, I will touch you back.
If you kiss me all over my face,
I will lean in to your mouth.
If you tip my fingers, I will take your hand.
Every time you call, I will answer.
I will arrive each time prepared to be set
free.
To have you let me go, or set me adrift.
I accept that this can happen.
But until you send me away,
I will always come to you
and I’ll always be early.
I’ll be here steadfast as a lighthouse
in the ebb of your tide.
Shining my
light,
until you come to me or pass me by.
Whichever way you go, I’ll show you to safety
Even if it’s to point you over the horizon.
And I would carry you there if it made you
happy.
You know I would.

Take your time.
I’m in no rush.
I will show you that I am there
When you need

I’m always going to be responsive to you.
If you come to me, I will always receive

If you touch me, I will touch you back.
If you kiss me all over my face,

If you tip my fingers, I will take your hand.
Every time you call, I will answer.
I will arrive each time prepared to be set

To have you let me go, or set me adrift.
I accept that this can happen.
But until you send me away,
I will always come to you
and I’ll always be early.
I’ll be here steadfast as a lighthouse
in the ebb of your tide.
Shining my

until you come to me or pass me by.
Whichever way you go, I’ll show you to safety
Even if it’s to point you over the horizon.
And I would carry you there if it made you
happy.
You know I would.
