We take one step at a time when we leave a love, a job, a belief after spending days, perhaps months, years dismissing doubts their presence, ripples in the air that can be as soft as moths wings we pretend are only the ordinary in and out of our breath clouds against windows clear, and one day we see our world differently feel our hands press against that glass the cold of it flinging us back one last time into the heart of a home we have known where each piece in its usual place seems rearranged as if we are already gone

We take one step at a time when we leave
a love, a job, a belief
after spending days, perhaps months, years
dismissing doubts
their presence, ripples in the air
that can be as soft as moths
wings we pretend are only
the ordinary in and out of our breath
clouds against windows
clear, and one day we see our world differently
feel our hands press against that glass
the cold of it flinging us back
one last time
into the heart of a home we have known
where each piece in its usual place
seems rearranged
as if we are already gone

Why let go
If we just give up
We might never know
In my heart and soul
I know I see
Together we can build a future
But to just give up, how could it be
Not everything is always perfect
And I know by far neither am I
But it can still work
Together strong, we can still try
I’ll never give up
For you I can’t, I won’t quit
But together, the two of us, we can try
And the pieces can still fit
I live to make you happy
And I swear this is true
If you can tell me I can’t
Then I will never again bother you
But if I still can make you happy
Don’t give up, cause I won’t
You are everything to me
So if you don’t want to give up, don’t
The pain can’t heal itself
But to give up it will never end
Just know I am always here, only for you
So all my love to you I send
