People come in and out of our lives for a reason, the trick, is knowing when to let them go.. and when to hold onto them even tighter.


If I could do anything

Anything at all
I’d save you from the edge

From which you’re about to fall
I sit here listening

Listening to your call
I’m watching

Watching as you crawl
He’s waiting

Waiting while you stall
I hate to see you stand there

Stand there so small
I hate that it’s taken you this long

This long to realize you’re at the wall
Do you remember how it started?

Can you recall?

Call it what you want; I know you want it all
