I've started descending and I knew you would
be waiting at the surface prepared to catch me
for you have already fallen
Part of me was ready to sink into your arms
but clarity wasn't present
You were unfamiliar and kind, and for that I ran
Fear has taken a hold
I can feel the hurt evaporating from within
The world has made you cold
and you couldn't stop shivering
But at the same time your touch kept me warm
and I wanted more, so the fire within our
emotions began to ignite
The way you ease my mind through my
insecurities allowed me to close my eyes
Your words carry like the wind traveling
over the ocean waters
But after a while you wanted so badly
to reach for the stars, while I wanted to stay
leveled
You wanted to grow old and I wanted to
remain young
So I fled, like the sun fleeing from the
moon during sunset
Without any explanation I left you in the
dark and I could tell you were overwhelmed
You've drowned in the idea that we both
took part in, while I carried that same idea
on to the next
