i can’t seem to get a grip on you
yet, i can’t let go.
you're so great and funny, you have your whole life ahead of you.
and yet somehow, you pull yourself down with an anchor like me
and you won’t unhook yourself.
i never understood
why you’d stay
why you’d care
why you’d love me
but what do i know about love?
maybe there is something good about me.
that something you love so much.
i promise, for you, i won’t lose it.
just don’t lose your smile.
just don’t lose your laugh.
just don’t lose yourself.
and maybe
we can be anchor weights together,
holding this ship in place
so it never strays from the dock.
