Whenever I'm down
Fighting back tears
Trying to hold on despite my fears
You're there in the distance.

Whenever I'm low
Sinking into the ground
You're there to pull me up
And tell me it's okay.

Whenever I'm panicking
You hold me in your arms
You shush me, and simply stay.
And I melt against your warmth.

I feel like whenever I open up
I release the floodgates; the depths of my mind
Yet you don't run away. You stay by my side.
And try to help me through it all.

Even though I'm shaking
Even though my tears seep into your shirt
You're there for me.
And I feel safe. I feel…something more.

You might not think you're cute
But I think you're beautiful.
And you might not think you're good enough
But I think you're perfect.

It's funny how in times of distress
We're there to help each other every time.
And even though we're crying and uncertain of the future
I'm sure that together, we can brave the oncoming storms.
