still here

I had this theory

he’d make a stronger woman out of me

I held the belief

we were somehow meant to be

The seasons changed day by day

And I found myself along the way

My mind agreed with my heart

And we both knew it was time to part

“Be careful,” I said

again and again

Finally, it came

the start of the end

Strength rooted within

And courage, too

Then, one day,

my heart found you

Weak in the knees

and scared to be

I’ve never seen

A life so free

I don’t how to close

I don’t know how to leave

I’m high off this dose

I never asked to receive

There’s no strength in me, after all

So, yes, I still answer whenever you call
