I am a human.
Tied with emotion, burdened with mistakes; I falter when it rains.
I found you collapsed in a chair, drunk with the mishaps of the evening.
Falling from the weight, and you took my chin and with only one look
I stood up straight again.
How do you know when to look me in the eye or when
to grab my shoulders and shake away the demons of the life?
One step forward, you push me ahead, and I stumble towards my goal.
Before I fall, you catch me and you have faith in every turn I make.
Is this wordless understanding what they say we're meant to find?
I don't need to know your every story to know everything that makes me soar.
Cast away the shadows, the tyranny of adulthood,
you've made me grow, live, and find
This is the meaning of love.
