Stepping Stones

I take steps.

Tiny steps.

One

           Step 

                       At

                               A

                                      Time.

I don't want to break you

Or this.

I take baby steps

One

           By

                    One.

I'm scared

But that's not going to get us anywhere.

Actually

I'm terrified.

But I keep taking

s

     t

           e

                  p

                         s

Like stepping stones

To us.

    Do You Know

    Do you know how many minutes I save for you

    So we can be together?

    Do you know how it feels

    When you throw them out

    For other things?

    Do you know how it feels

    To never feel like you're good enough

    Chasing Onwards

    I chase this dream

    With everything I have.

    I want to be with it

    Every step of the way.

    From the moment I first touched it

    To where my fingertips grazed actual possibility

    To where my heart broke

    I Want

    I want to live

    Inside your head.

    I want to be where

    They can't hurt me.

    I want to live where you are

    I want to stay in the sunlight

    I want to dance among the stars.

    I want to live in your fantasy
