Our Own
Don’t leave me outside
like a rose on a rainy day.
I'm a ray of sunlight
For you to find
And follow. A fresh day
you can't leave behind.
I stand strong on this pedestal
Where I belong
Not out in the throng
Of other people. I stand out
Because I am strong.
I'm not the dirt
The flower expels.
Treat me like the flower
For my spirit is delicate and full of heat.
Don't fall under the spell
Of the light and airy.
Not all is bliss.
When I think of us together,
Sitting on the floor
Not caring if we look ridiculous
I feel memory go blurry
Love is not always meticulous.
People say things when they are afraid
But I don't fear your wickedness.
I will not slay you
Unless you ask me to.
Call me then to your aid.
Tell me to stay.
Here are the crossroads
Where things might change.
I don't want to be disappointed.
Life with you is strange.
