Come home

And to my right I see you.

Sitting there, carrying the saddest eyes.

And all I wish for is that it doesn't stay this way.

A heart so big, you don't even know what to do with it, what you can do with it.

Too many times it's been worn by dirty hands. They've left dark marks on it.

All I wish for, all I hope for is that there will be light again.

Filling it up, lifting it up.

So much, almost everything, still lies ahead of you and your heart.

If only I can bring the tiniest spark into it, into your eyes.

A whole universe comes to the surface when you talk to me.

Worlds hidden in your depths for so long.

It’s been too long love.

It must be dark where your words come from.

I can feel it.

I cradle every word in safety, catch it, put it down carefully and keep it safe.

With every word leaving your lips I hope you get a little lighter.

You can let it go, I'll take care of it now.

I can feel it, your words have not seen the light of day for a long time.

I can see it, it's been a long journey to the surface for them.

I can sense, it’s a struggle for you to bring them into this reality.

It's never easy, I see that, I see you.

See your pain and the heaviness seeping in every syllable.

If only I could let you see that it doesn't have to be so hard.

But it is your path, not mine. No one can walk it for you, no one can feel it for you.

But let me be by your side when you want to start walking it.

We all run for ourselves, but we never have to do it alone, not even you.
