You Slow Me Down in the Best of Ways

My life is fast paced
So very fast paced
People and things just rush by
And I let them
Until you
I let the important things slip by
Not caring enough to stop
Not caring enough to get them back
Until you
You slowed me down
Made me take my time
I fought you at first
But you held me
Stopped me
Showed me what I missed
You held my hand
You showed me how to slow down
How to see more than blurs around me
You slowed me down
Then let go
You let me slip
You started to speed up
You started seeing the blurs
The same ones I used to
I became one of your blurs
Can I slow you down?
Or should I just run with you?
Should I give up what you showed me?
Or should I help you see them again?
I don't know how to catch up to you
I don't know how to slow you down
I don't know
But I'm willing to try
I'll hold you like you held me
I show you like you showed me
And I'll hold your hand once more
Once more will we walk through life
Together we will see what is around us
Not just blurs
I'm willing to slow you down as you did for me
I'm willing to take my time with you
Even if you won't walk with me
I won't let you rush through life
Even if you don't want to be with me
I don't want you to miss out like I did
