we're not done yet
don't you get that?we still have
to run around the neighborhood
at midnight
we still have yet to dance in the sunlight
as the sunrises
just so everything can feel alrightwe still have to post our love letters
on the walls
like our memory of foreverwe still have to make each other dinner
every day
and have no reason for a pillow fightyou're not done fighting for us
i'm not done yetso fight for
the future where we get to tell stories
to our grandkidsall the missed
arguments over the tv remotethe cuddles near the fire place
the new years kiss we were meant to have
the birthdays and anniversarieswe still have so much to do
we're not done yetwe haven't had time to cry over
sappy movies
and continuous talks all nighti still haven't told you all my favorite meals
you still haven't told me the reasons
on your lonelinesswe still haven't
said our vowslike the promises we used to have
with two pinkies and our heartswe still haven't finished this yet
so please fight for us
like the characters from your action movies
like the lovers from all of my storiesplease love me
and i will give you my love
in a tenfoldi will do everything we've been wishing to do
i will never stop loving youso please fight
for us.
