LOST AND FOUND
I wish I could trust you but I can't keep you from the ones whom you think need you, just because they say they do.
And its hard to be strong when I'm the only one who has your back. Even you. Including you. There's no way to win when we get by on just enough.
I can't move mountains and I can't build a ship big enough to sail to where you are. No one seems to know, but me, how far away that is.
Sleeping alone was never your thing. I want to keep you safe here underneath this wing. How can you survive with no safe place to sleep and no one to tuck you in?
Please don't fight it. This is all we have. Big scars that are left from picking at the scabs. We can't go down that road again, not even if you say yes. It hurts too much to just be friends.
