Would you teach me the words
to all your secret songs?
Would you let me become
one of your only ones?
Would you ever let me in?
Show me where you begin?
Open your world to me?
Sing your song to me.
We are all
a little bit
lost and found.
I just want
you to know
you’re not alone.
I will stand
in the fire
for you.
I will stand
in the cold
to see you warm.
I will fight
to the death
to protect you.
I would die
so you would live,
promise me
that you’ll live well.
If for but one moment
we become
singing in symmetry,
your song
and mine
for just a second
harmonic,
each one lifting up
the other.
I need to hear you,
need to feel your heart.
Tell me you’re alive,
because your life
gives me purpose.
What more could I ask for?
I have heard you sing
your secrets to me
and the universe,
when I pass on
from the life I’ve lived
I want you
to know I heard you sing
your everything
and it was beautiful.
