Do You
Run
Don’t look back
Stop
Take a step back
You have fallen
Down, down in a deep hole
You turn around
Take a breath
I say “Reach”
You say “Leave”
I call to you
You kick me out
You keep falling
I miss you
My hand reaches out
You grab my hand
I start pulling you out
I see your blue eyes
I look at your heart
You tell me through your heart
“I really don’t care. Don’t care about you”
I tell you
“I don’t only care, but love you”
You drop
Now you keep fallen, never asking for help
I don’t leave
I come in after you
