And it’s slow starts and backups
Hours laughing and back rubs
It’s your mind not letting up
I can feel the stress rolling off in waves
And the precious moments when it fades away
I might be tattered you might be broken
But you’re still amazing you just lost your way
And it might be slow and it might be faltering
But were still getting these memories made
It’s the way your nose crinkles all the time now
But it’s also the things you need to unwind somehow
Coiled, and lately sleep comes harder
Sometimes it’s like you’re slipping farther
Into your wounds and can’t-changes
I don’t blame you as I see the pages
Of all that weighs on you
So it’s trial and error our way to a healthier place
To a successful distraction
Through you retreating inside
Whatever it takes
Take it night by night
Wherever it goes
From the sparkle in your eye
To the tears you unwillingly cry
I can see it better now and I know it’s not mine to fix
The parts of you that got attached
To never being loved right
Can’t help but do anything I can
Watch that increase but it only comes in time
I am here for the ride
All of it.
