You wear your guard
like a winter coat
buttoned up too high
even in July
I won’t pry it open
I won’t talk you safe
I’ll meet you when you’re ready
I’ll meet you when you’re ready
no speeches in the doorway
just my hands
just steady
I moved back and forth
like weather does
and I made it hard
to trust the sky
we’re not a cure
we’re not the missing part
we’re just two people
trying not to run
I’ll meet you when you’re ready
I’ll meet you when you’re ready
no speeches in the doorway
just my hands
just steady
