Untroubled

I lower my defenses
I have your voice in my head

today
our walk is an endless one
in the heart of every city
you unfold fearlessly
in front of me
I know
I cannot keep you
in my heart
but you may stay
for a while

and I promise to hold your hand
for however far we go

So
care for me
lose yourself
follow me
laugh with me
ignore
the times I’m cold
notice
how I observe you
feel
how you make me warm
and stay still
for a bit
look at me
close
close enough

and don’t
forget

we can always

begin

again.
