Ready

The way you sing
Those words leave your lips
They make knees go weak

I don’t know what to do
My breath catches

As your hand brushes my cheek
My mind goes crazy
I don’t know what to think

Our lips brush
My would drops

The door opens
He gasps

My heart shudders

This couldn't’t be happening
This could be the end

My vision goes black
I wonder if this is the end
His hands come around me

I wake up
The first two I see are you and him

My hand in yours
The other in his

Tears streak my cheeks
Your rough fingers brush them away softly

He chuckles

“no need to cry”
The words leave his lips like a whisper

“you’re the baby
and you’re growing up
we’ll live.
Be happy baby sister
I’ll always be there for you
I love you
Don’t you ever forget”

His eyes meet yours

“take care of this one!
If I could choose one person for my sister
You would be him!”

His lips brush my head
“don’t fall too hard”

I blink tears away
I look up
Hes gone

Its just you
And me

You smile
I curve my lips best I can

“I’ll catch you”
Whispering your lips collide with mine
Ready to stop the earth
