We

Has anyone told you
You are beautiful?
You are strong?
You are important?
You are my beauty
And on days when the sun
And the tears
Stain my face red
You are the gentle breeze
The little push to continue
The voice of reason when I'm unreasonable
I cannot count the times you've held me in your arms
Stroking my tangled hair
Promise me to give me your strength
Then for once, I'll hold you
And stroke your strained shoulders
From all those times you've stood tall
Carried the weight of the world.
Relax your shoulders
Shrug everyone off
Let's find a place just under moonlight
Somewhere safe and away from our worries
Then yell at the night sky
All the things too difficult to admit
To them
We were crazy
Crazy for creating a better world
Crazy for facing the real world together
Crazy for smiling at falling stars
Because it reminds us nothing is permanent
Not the stars, not our problems
We were hand in hand for so long
I'm not steady without you
I'm staggering down an already lonely street
So are you
I wish you the best and I hope
And pray
That down the road we'll be laughing again
With fingers weaved tightly as we stare at the sky
Without feeling even smaller than we do now
