Whispers

In the dark, we knew it couldn't last
But there was something in the shadows we cast
And the whispers we heard
They told me, "Hold on until it's over"
So I dressed myself for a long, long fall
Then let go gracefully to leap from my walls
In the light, we saw things we could be
But something in shadows slowly creeped
And the whispers we heard
They told you, "Let go, before it's over"
So you looked to see how far I fell
And became overwhelmed by a storm of guilt

When we realized I landed by myself
In the remnants of everything I felt

The shadows whispered to you and they whispered to me
And in the same sentence, we heard the words differently

Unready

"I'm not ready to let go"
Of your hands, of your grip
Of your kiss on my lips
Of long silences and small talks
Of winter rides,
And summer walks
I'm not ready to let go
Of loving you
.
.
.
"I'm not ready to let go"
Of my past,
Of a belief that good doesn't last
Of the shadows I've cast
On the walls that I've built
Of walking on stilts
I'm not ready to let go
Enough to love you
