Some days,

it felt more like our hands were entwined,

marching on forever,

hasn't it?


I imagine that it will always

be that way,

and that every battle won

will make us much stronger together.


Do you dream like I often do

of the good times

and yet worry over the bad?


I want to always

be like this,

hopeful and free,

loving and loved;

I can never imagine a better life than the one

by your sides.


I wonder if there'll always be a way

to come home to you,

to feel safer here by your sides

than anyone else's.


I know that I'm not nearly strong enough,

but every time, I help you out,

I feel happier

as if finally things are the way they should be.


Do you ever doubt yourself

like I do,

like I've done?
I always imagine you

to be braver than me regardless.


I wonder if love grows

like the plants that I've always known,

does it dance

too?


I can't help but wonder

if I'm lost as I write this,

if I've stumbled a little too far,

a little too hard,

Forgive me if I do.


I don't know

if we'll always remain like this,

but will you promise me

to try too?
