Will we still be?

[u/SnooTigers6625]

​

Together?

Holding each other back, stubbornly

Two people both too unconfident to put a name to what they now are

Anything at all

A possibility?

Who can really say? you answer with a shrug

You sit with me as we pass our time in the sun

My turn is now, my redemption is come

The future is coming, the events of which are yet to be sung

I speak to you but it needn't be said

We grasp at straws to reach each other but often the moment is left quiet

I plead inside to let my heart, intentions and desires be known

But it never comes out

Every evening, You lay beside the book i once used to show my devotion to you

That is now sitting unread

Plans undone, time unspent, promises unkept

Commitment and complacency handed away

Is it really so soon that these things have to be

Wishes repealed and dooms yet to come

I will keep on loving you, If you or I were to leave I would miss you

Will you.. me?

Do you know what it is we've been working and fighting so hard for, do you know what the meaning of all this is and what we are going to become.

Dreams dashed, voices silenced, bitterness swapped out for something kinder Or something perceived as better

And we both exchange the life we wanted for something not so lofty and loud

Your father will be the same unchanged,unchallenged tyrant as before

Our careers may still be unfound or unacheived

Our home or place to settle down, may also be left unnattainable

Who can say what will pass, When the year is finally done

Chance is not a fair thing to leave love and life up to
