I saw your beautiful welcoming eyes
I walked through the circles
Dodging the blinking curtains of love
Unafraid of what I might find
Because I knew you
Or so I thought
But the rush of blood was too much
The images of life too intense
Your heart beat too loud
The other side of your soft smile too hard
I started choking
Covering my ears
Closing my eyes
Crying
I couldn't stand it
I wanted out
But I couldn't find my way
What I was afraid of
Was how to live like this
And then I realized
I never really knew you
Because you had always been so strong
And only then did I know
How weak I really was
