Slow and steady
Steady and slow
I'll try to understand
What happened months ago

Slow and steady
Steady and slow
I'll try to rekindle
A bond that I miss so

Slow and steady
Steady and slow
Except this time no kissing
Unless it's the kind that you blow

Slow and steady
Steady and slow
I'm not ready
And you already know

Slow and steady
Steady and slow
She is my anchor now
Just go with the flow

You know, I have a history of abandonment
Of people telling me
I'm not good enough

Of people leaving me
For something they deem better
Making me not good enough

My father left me
For drugs
And I don't feel good enough

My grades are slipping
I'm losing my feet
And I know I'm not good enough

But then there's her
This sweet girl
And she makes me feel treasured

There's this girl
This lovely girl
And I don't feel anxiety

I'm not scared anymore
I don't feel any pressure
I don't need to be good enough

Because to her,
I already am

I'll hold you in my heart
Until I can hold you in my arms
I'll cling to every word you say
And wish you weren't so far away

I'll kiss you softly whenever I can
Because I don't know when I will again
And who cares what the world thinks of us
When I think the world of you

So yes, perhaps distance is a drag
And yes, people can be too
But love of mine please give it some time
Because in time I'll be with you
