A glimpse of you...

Where do you see us going?, you say to me.

What I’m I to say?

That I don’t know?

And risk losing you?

Or that I know?

And put my heart at risk?

I dread not the cold of the winter

When the wind so blows it carries me with it

I need not hold a pole so the wind won’t throw me away

For your strong hands pull me back before the wind takes me to a place I know not.

I would go out and want to come back home

Because I know home is you

But what do I do when today home is you and tomorrow, home is away?

I never knew I had sucked in my breath for so long

 until another showed me to breathe

I never knew you would be the one to give my heart love and take it away so fiercely

A fool you have become, I say to myself

The tears I cry every time you leave becomes long forgotten when I catch a glimpse of you

There just might be hope for us, I say to myself

A minute later, you don’t hesitate in changing your mind

And taking the hope with you.

A fool I have become as I have forgotten how to be me

Or maybe I never knew me before you came along

I tell myself to hold on

Tomorrow will be different

We will be happy tomorrow

Where do you see us going? 

Is there even a “us”?

I thought there was only you and i

Tomorrow I will be strong and not run back to you

A promise I forget I made when I catch a glimpse of you.
