I dream of a future,
but the path feels so unclear,
Like a river that wanders,
afraid to disappear.
With each passing moment,
the world shifts and bends,
I’m caught between love
and what the future intends.

You call me your future,
Your steady embrace,
But I always find myself left in the dark,
searching your face.
You said I could give you a home,
A place to belong,
But can you offer the same,
when your consistency is gone?
A home needs two,
A shared foundation,
A love that’s true,
Can we build that together,
or is it just me pulling through?

In the quiet of my heart at night,
I find both peace and unrest,
A fire that burns brightly,
yet leaves me second guessing what’s best.
Cold winds blow softly,
as doubt starts to creep,
Will we find the warmth together,
or am I drifting too deep?

I’ve been your warrior,
Your steadfast guide,
Fought battles for you,
Stood by your side.
When you fell,
I lifted,
found paths for you to tread,
While you left my heart; Unread.

You met my family,
Stepped into my life,
For a moment,
I thought we’d survive the strife.
But then you went back to your land,
And the silence grew deep,
Promises faded,
and I failed to sleep.

You say we lost a battle,
but not the whole war,
Yet I stand alone,
facing a burning castle,
with everything we’ve built at risk,
turning to ash.
If we’re to survive this,
I need your hands to help me fight,
Before everything crumbles,
and fades from sight.

I’ve sacrificed so much,
lost pieces along the way,
Carrying us through,
when you couldn’t find words to say.
I’ve held us up,
kept us from sinking low,
While you stood back, lying low.

I’ve given parts of myself,
again and again,
While you stayed silent,
stuck in your pain.
I’m standing here,
unsure where to go,
Feeling the cracks of a love gone slow.
Do I keep holding on,
though I’m broken and sore?

I’m from a land where love is loud,
Where hearts are open, and joy is unbowed.
We speak with passion, with all our might,
We stand together, facing the fight.
You’re from a land that’s quiet, reserved,
Where emotions are muted,
and love is observed.

So here I stand,
Lost in the fray,
Our future uncertain,
Our hearts led astray.
The war rages on, but I can’t fight this way,
Do I surrender now,
Or wait for the break of day?
