Here I am looking up,
Thinking of climbing the mountain top.
Not alone but with you,
Let’s enjoy the peak and view.

The trek is hard the that I know,
Walking will be tiring and slow.
We might get hurt and trip a lot,
But we will reach it no matter what.

I enjoyed this time, I am at peace,
But I saw you stop behind the trees.
You seem so tired, your eyes are weary,
I tried to descend but you stopped me.

Now I am at the summit wondering why,
Then suddenly rain started under the starry sky.
The view on top was beautiful, even amazing,
But when i looked down, tears went rolling.

Between the two of us, silence is overwhelming,
During that moment I realized something.
We both wanted to be free, not from the world,
But from our hearts that turned cold.
