By Your Side

Colored, in bright red with a cute smile

Caged behind those glasses, your eyes I wish to see

Desperately, I wish to know your name

But inside me is fear I have yet to tame

Blank slates capture my imagination

For endless possibilities await me

For fear of endless possibilities

I scream silently, surrounded, not free

Inside me is my own enemy

That traps me inside the fear

You reached out to me

And pulled me ever near

Feeling safe and warm

Sharing comforts of home

Like the moon brings the tide

I’d love to be, by your side

For this fleeting moment I feel

At ease, at peace, in timeless space

I want this moment to last forever

Yet it leaves us without a trace
