The time for difficulty has arrived.
We are in a place where only the strong can survive.
We take our respective places, side by side.
Holding hands against the tide.
But as more time passes, and the silver lining grows brighter, our cloud hangs still over head.
We take our dreams, and we take our feelings,
using them as an ace against the dead.
Refusing to speak your part, I speak mine in words that confuse..
Hoping you don't see this smile as a ruse.
I refuse to tell you what my truth about you is.
You refuse to acknowlegde what you see hidden in my eyes.
United we hold fast, apart we face demons we are afraid to see.
I hear it in your voice, the exhaustion and the despair, the need you have for me.
Stubborn by birth, fixed by signs, we are both something the other never wanted until we found each other.
And now I can see myself with no other lover.
I back up, feeling you close yourself off, only to jump back in when I see that you didn't want me to go.
I hang on tight, feeling that you are waiting for my words, but i'm afraid for you to know.
The light is diminished but not by me.
It was thrown by something we can't see.
A single kiss and the sparks flare high.
I could never tell you a lie.
These are my 14 steps up hill, my walk to find what it is that is beyond our reach.
You know i'm afraid of heights, so you hold out both hands, hoping i'll take each.
I know what you make me feel, I know what you make me think, I know that in our case I need to let feelings take the title role.
If I don't, it is possible for us to fall into a hole.
I love you, I really do.
So many times I have waited and wanted to tell you too.
But i'll wait.
I'll wait forever.
And i'll take more steps.
