Holding On

I had no big expectations from you
But I held on yo your hands with hope and optimism
No I don’t know what tomorrow will bring
Or what will happen to us many years later
But lets take it one day at a time
Pain is not permanent so this too will pass
I will be there when your not having a bad day
When your mind is clouded with memories
When your eyes reflect pain and grief
When you are wearing a brittle smile
Only for my sake
I know It hurts

I will also be there when you’re a having a good day
To love you in the best way I know possible
To support you when you cannot stand on your own or do not feel like going forward
To hold you when you feel alone and need reassurance
To protect you from superficial relations and second hand notions
To tease you just because I can

I am only human so I cannot make the promise to never hurt you
Please know that it was not intentional
This is hard for me too but you will never know it
I promise to work on myself and never give up on you
