A soft ballad played as I dove deep into the sea, wasn't sure if you had stayed or if you had jumped with me.
The waves started singing, my ears began to hurt, the starlings started flying, and my heart began to burn.
I swam deep beneath the waves between the familiar and the strange, And I always knew I've never been fond of this bewildering place.
So I held my breath - just for as long as I could, I knew you'd get there before me - I knew you always do.
Sometimes it is just so true that no one believes it,
Everything seemed too big and bright - our own silly words couldn't stick to it.
There are too many blank spaces - augmented loose ends.
Indeed,the doubt was too familiar,
Expected - au fait.
But for the first time - although scared, It didn't fill me with despair,
Because to find you meant keeping you - and with that, I'll choose to stay.
You are worth every battle - every loss in the waves.
The water filled my lungs but I could still hear the music play,
I'll guide you through the rhythm
at our very own pace.
Your spirit has crushed mountains, Your soul could burn the place, But you came to me so gracefully,
yet barged in and catched a chase - tracked down all my ghosts and monsters and with them you made friends.
Maybe that's what you did with yours - breathe in,
and make the numbness go away.
Sometimes I stay up thinking of all the places you are hurting, which you never thought will be ever worth mentioning.
But if you'd let me,
I'd like to go there and make a home,
Through all the hurting,
I'll laugh and cry and lay with you so you won't always be alone.
So if the curtains' still aren't up for us, and when the stars are still mad at us, The universe has already written what we've been planning on writing
- how dare we challenge everything that is trying to show us something?
How dare we stop the waves when it had just started flowing?
Maybe it's the universe's way of writing it,
Because there are still loose ends we have to tie on our own.
Its certain uncertainty seemed like a chaotic brawl,
It may not be the first - the best,
But it's the only way to be sure
that we lived at all.
We are timeless - for sure,
because waiting for you doesn't feel like waiting at all.
