When I see you

The words on these pages
Die along with the ones un-uttered
The fears expressed, I can't explain
I guess you've got a stronger reason to fight this than I do
But I can't help it, I'm still drawn to you

Why do we stay
Why do we go
I can't seem to take it slow
Take it easy, I could try
It's easier when you're by my side

I need you to calm my nerves
I'm more comfortable when you're in my periphery

When times are good, I turn to you
When things are south, I need you
Peace and calmness when I see you
The weight is lifted
And memories linger

My heart beats in anticipation
I'm home now
I feel you, feeling me
No more fear
No more regret
No blame
No judgement
Just us two in an eternal moment

I could choose you
Day after day
Steady, unrelenting hope
Surviving the test of time.
