The calm you transfer through the pat on my shoulder tames the thunder in my head
Maybe that's your nature because you've gone further, the rocks scarred you deeper
For it's also in the way you talk about the sibling you don't get to grow older with
And the roses you bought but decided not to again, they won't stay forever anyway
How you wish things went differently last April
And the sky wouldn't have to collapse so hard that it broke you too as it fell
Your eyes are dim lights
And I used to look for sparkles and blinding sights
It makes me wonder how one can gaze so genuinely that I shiver
But the sorrow shows
When I gaze back and you tell stories with your mouth locked
Your water never runs dry
But I want you to have mine too
The sole of your shoes are still thick, but let me walk beside your feet
My fingertips are fragile, I hope you don't mind
If another storm is coming on our way, we'll still be vulnerable
But we're together,
And for once, it might be beautiful
