I will come to you
I will be yours some day
So come on, chill.
Don’t be hasty.
Allow me to be a child,
Don’t scare me before my time.
We both know you will take me,
Even if I don’t love you-
It’s unavoidable
It is hard to think about you, and I.
To erasing me, off the face of the earth,
To be stripped of dreams-
For an after party nobody knows.
Why do you want us?
Where do you take us?
Waking up a toddler
My engagement to life.
I’ve been taught to value love,
And it breaks my heart to know that
Each of us will have to marry you one day.
And we miss the ones who already have
It’s the only wedding we celebrate in tears!
