You only live once

Come here, don’t be afraid

You only live once

It’s time to be

I know you’ve fallen in love

Fallen in love with me as a person

My personality, my character that was revealed to you

The result of the connection

From the beginning

The healthy communication

Your ability to take me in

Your ability to see

And my desire

To take away all your fears and worries

All of this made you fall in love

To give, to move, to be revealed

Like the first sunlight

After a cold night of loneliness

It’s time for you to feel

And it’s time for you to give me

The code, on a small sheet of paper

To the most secure vault in the world

Your world will be open only to me

And I will protect it from everything

Because I know that the memories

Caused you to mold a vault of concrete

Inside your body

To house all of your truth

The one in your heart

I know this is strange for you

Strange to feel real

Feeling open is out of the ordinary for you

You don’t even know who you are

What you want

And now for the first time

You’re asking yourself what am I?

Who am I? Why?

What do I want?

I know it’s hard for you to see yourself

For the first time, open

The mind is so disorganized

Trying to explain it to yourself

To me

How to demand answers

From someone who is finally feeling

Everything they desired

I know how afraid you are of getting hurt

Of being exposed

Just smile and stay like this

And in the end, be everything

And be left with nothing

How great of a responsibility I have

How important it is to you

Not something to be taken for granted

A defining moment in your life

I’m not going anywhere, I’m staying

Because you’re worth every moment of battle

And even when I throw myself into moments where it seems like I’m running away

I’m dying inside

Wanting for you to say to me

I’m here for you too
