For what it’s worth
It doesn’t hurt
For I knew what was to come
Your eyes stare intensely into mine
I knew this day would come
When the world would come undone
This pain, all too numb
To this, I say
“What have we done?”
I reach my hand out to yours
This bitterness
This silliness
Why can’t we be in this?
Together
You intertwine your fingers with mine
Knowing this could be the end
Have we gone too far?
You smile
That fleet smile
I know so well
Your eyes turn soft
As you say to me
“Do not worry not”
Together, we walk
Down this dark path
Why can’t we be accepted?
Our love, so encrypted
So hard to define
This love so divine
You pull me closer
Your hands cover my eyes
You lead me with your voice
And you whisper in my ear
“Baby, we are finally here”
