You

You

By Shaire Blythe

Steady, sensing your waves

Giving me a moment to breathe

I'm standing on my feet

I knew I'd get there someday 

Lighter, I can feel my heart beat 

It was always so warm

It would've been a lie to abandon her

Here she is, racing again 

You can have it if you're really honest 

Oh no, not once again 

Love is tragic, but they say it's magic 

Don't pull me close just to let me go

That's no home

Let's take it slow, let nobody know

So we can truly see us through 

I need to know if it's you

Pretty, such a pretty face

Charming, you put me in my place

It's true, I have a tendency to think I know it all

But I'm screaming to come prove me wrong

Belief, all I have are my strides

Release all of the complications

I know they come and go, but I rather not go there tonight

Or any other night

Stepping forward, I couldn't ignore you

The only one I speak to

The urge to run, but you've given me no reasons to

And I'll be damn if I'll be the one to abandon you

I know that emotion of feeling worthless
