Yes you! over there,
Mostly fighting for you!
Because I know my heart,
Where it beats and it's longing,
Where it goes quiet,
The two seconds of silence between conversations,
The silence that is so loud,
Longing for an idea,
An idea where I made home,
A home where you stood against the light,
I saw why I needed it,
No one sees that anymore,
No one lives in this glow,
The glow of consequent love,
The glow of all the mistakes that we can right,
And here I am,
Fighting myself to be right,
To love you beyond your ego,
Here I'm loving you beyond your pride,
Maybe this will pass,
Maybe I'll grieve you like any other funeral,
Maybe you are another body under ground,
A love lost and a love learned,
And here I'm asking myself,
How many shall I bury,
How much should I feel,
How much should I fight,
What waters should I cross,
Waters that are clear with love,
Waters that flood when love finds home,
A love that drowns me and you,
The breathlessness of a dive we didn't forsee,
But here I'm loving,
Here I'm breathless but not drowning,
With so much to give and yet so much to forget,
Because forgetting comes so easy,
But holding on comes so hard.
