It rained again last night and I wondered if the riverbank
might get swallowed whole by the strong tide.
Some days I wonder how my legs could carry me through the day
when my heart threatens to make my hands immerse my head
under the water just to see if this life coursing through my veins
could get snuffed out with an act as simple as that.
Some may call it crazy when I claim that the only force
pushing me all this time is you.
Although I might stumble and fall and scrape my knees against the pavement,
you were always there to pull me back up on my feet once more;
just like you are the reason why I get out of bed every single day
even when all I want to do is bury myself under the blanket and make
a burrow that could probably serve as my final resting place.
Because your smile is something I would never miss for
anything in the world
and that's enough to keep me going for another day.
