I’ll hold your hand til the very end

the very end

and stay awake until tomorrow starts.

Carefully chosen words

like swords chasing mistakes.

Your powerful mind:

chamber of fears and tears.

Your diamond skin:

lights up in the sun,

Your soothing voice:

goosebumps

from head to toes.

Your scent of hair:

hardwood and soap.

Your rosy lips:

fresh and fruity kisses.

The sun was reaching to us,

gifting us with sunshine and smiles.

The sunset in Cali

And the sunrise on the road.

Our first trip brought us tears,

Fears of the day,

that I’ll pack my suitcase

and wait in line,

for an airplane

that I hope will arrive.

So I can stop

the falling,

the ending,

the feeling.

That I have to abandon you,

in their hands.
