the word slipped off my tongue like a native language but it was foreign to my ears. there were fears and failures tied together and i wanted to turn off the sound of my doubts. i could tell you were serious and that look in your eye saw everything i was hiding. you held my hopes and dreams and planted seeds for me. i left my roses behind but somewhere you promised me i would have them another time. you caught the wave of what love i could give and you decide to hang on for the ride.
