Maybe if I just close my eyes
squeeze your hand
hold you
as tight as i can
(not trying to hurt you, never)
but id try to hold on
tighter than i would ever let you hold me
i can keep this
i can make sure we never change
i believe in the idea of embracing change
it has always proven true before
even the worst bruise will eventually heal
no mess stays forever
you are the exception
for if i lose you, what else am i?
i am me
i am not dependent, no
it is just that me is a whole new person with you
better than ive ever seen
thats one thing i dont want to change
so if you notice me squeezing
closing my eyes at the 11:11 mark
(the same wish every night)
just dont let go?
dont question it
and we can let everything change and grow around us
any change with us
we can do together
