For what it’s worth,
for when you’re there,
for when I’m here,
forever I’ll think,
about massive promises we made

I’ll practice patience
like you taught me to,
I’ll find time to imagine
where we’d have headed to
among thousands distractions running forward

Can we be friends?
as someone said
Can we avoid pain?
choose love as ritual instead
of fear as tool for self-defence

Before you leave
I won’t hesitate
Before you’re free
make sure to separate
the deeply-rooted hopes of bitter taste
