Don't Let Go.

Telling me you’re

Having trouble letting go

Brings me to tears

Of the saltiest type.

Maybe, just maybe,

We’re not meant to part,

Not supposed to let go.

And I know, I know,

You hate doing what

You’re told,

But maybe just this once

You could,

And hold me tighter,

Since I know you’re stronger,

And although I’m the weak one,

It’s giving my all

I’ve been keeping myself from.

When you said my affection

Just wasn’t genuine,

I wanted to hold you so tight

For the rest of my life,

And become a bigger part of you,

‘Cause I meant it when I said

I’m nothing without you,

Be it alive or doornail dead.

And I wish I could kiss you

'Til the bitter end,

But nothing more,

Not the slightest desire

To explore your curious curves,

Since there’s something here

That’s so much more

Than empty promises

And handing out cards

We’ve cradled for

Most of eternity.

And though we don’t say it,

We know:

Our souls are old,

They’re connected,

And together they’ll grow,

Like how our fingers

Must’ve entwined

When your hand found mine

Nine centuries ago,

Or once upon a time.

And it’s crazy I know,

But now that I’ve found you,

I’m begging you to stop,

Because I’ll never let go.

Love truly can put the screws to us... leaving us in a state of utter mess.

Wonderful rhythm and a lovely painting of images. I really love the lines "nine centuries ago or once upon a time"
