on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.
you came to me and i ran to you like we had no time to waste.

above the water we soaked in the sun and held hands by the grass.
holding onto the bridge i lost my balance.
to let go would lead me falling to the stars.
and when it came to leaving we were both terrified of what would come.
loneliness and fear of losing us.
but on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.

i sent you a lock with my name and you sent me one with yours.
leaving my signature on yours and your letters on mine we locked each others on the bridge above the water.
you weren’t there but i soaked in the sun and held onto the bridge to keep my balance.
never could we drift away because we had locked the world together.

on opposite sides of the world we loved each other like there was no space.
as long as the bridges were tied down then so were we.

-

my lock held strong throughout the years- through earthquakes and rain.
and yours got unlocked the moment you met him.

i know where the keys are but i’m keeping my lock.
