As the world slipped out
from beneath my feet,
all you had to do was hold my hand –
that's it – and then let go;
you were meant to keep me
from falling.
Now here I am...here you are...
here we are....
It was a simple task,
to keep me grounded,
and now I fighting every last breath
clinging to this cliff;
you were suppose to let go,
supposed to keep me from falling.
Now here I am...here you are...
here we are....
I was ready to let go,
but I can't take you with me
and for once in my life I'm not ready
to be anywhere that doesn't hold me.
Just as I was ready to let the world
snuff my light out, you had me falling.
Now here I am...here you are...
here we are....
Is it wrong that I want to enjoy
every second every minute I have left
with you and I wrapped together
waiting on what brought us here
to tear us apart?
When all that is left here is you,
know in falling,
I finally lived.

smiles...with what brought you together being what will ultimately tear you apart...sounds like the only option is to enjoy it while you can....and i would rather live for a bit...than the alternative
I love the use of the refrain, like a pattern of holding your hand and letting it go ~ They cycle never ceases but sometimes one has to let go of one's hands some time ~ There is a sadness here, its coming too soon from the title of this post ~
Take care ~
It is good to enjoy every moment...but I can't help but hope that the fall is not too great a one. Peace.
I really like the weaving in and out of this. I do hope the speaker never goes back to being ready to let the world snuff his/her light out...
