Journey

It’s a long walk and I’m already tired

Of all the weight and the heat

It’s exhausting and I don’t know yet

How long it’s going to take me to reach

So I stop for a while and look around

At every single face, it’s a huge crowd

And an intimidating one, almost repulsive

But then I see you and I feel a little more assured

A little more at peace, a whole lot calmer

For you look as lost and as repelled

By the crowd and the walk as I do

So I take the first step to walk

Towards you not for once worried that it will

Slow me down in the walk towards the end goal

All of a sudden I do not want to walk alone

Hell, I don’t even want to reach the destination

We talk, firstly with caution, to test the water

Then more freely, because it just seems natural

And we keep talking for there is so much

To share, so many stories to exchange

For we have walked alone for far too long

This now seems easy, this long journey

Maybe it is too soon to hold your hand

Maybe I do not want to hold your hand

But I want to see that smile everyday, and

Hear you talk about everything you love

I like your company, you smile and say

And I think to myself, too scared to tell you

That I like everything now, for you are around!
