as i heard your whimpers, your uncontrollable breathing
my heart started to beat fast, and then faster
your beautiful words- exiting your mouth so painfully
touched me warmly
my cold, numb body sat there- listening helplessly
i began heating up
the tears i'd be holding back all my life, my pain
you caressed it
my eyes turned into a waterfall
my breathing became unstable alongside yours
as if you held my hand
we started walking together
towards hope
towards the brightest side
"keep living, if not yourself- do it for me"
at that moment, i squeezed your hand tighter
no words needed to be uttered, you knew i'd keep my promise
"reach for the stars" you told me
and at that moment, i held on to your hand as hard as i could
and we kept on going down that path
i know it's going to be a long one, a hard one
but i'm glad it'll be with you
- to you, milord
