What it takes
Do you think you have what it takes? Do you think you can handle it? Do you think you can sacrifice yourself for me?
I need more than the average. There's a million others that can pretend. Will you not only be able to hear, but be able to listen to what I say. Not only respond, but understand. Not only feel by touch, but feel by expression. Not only communicate by word, but through action. I don't want to hear the same old talk and see the same old stand still, anyone can do that for me.
Will you be able to take the plunge? Will you be able to open yourself up to vulnerability? Look at me through your eyes and not through the eyes of your surroundings. I want to not only feel the warmth of your body, but the warmth of your heart. I don't want to steal your heart, I want you to give it to me willingly. Can you fall as hard as I can?
Do you have the capability? You and only you. Not part of you, but all of you. Your heart, your mind, your spirit. To live for me. To not think of what you had before me, but what you could have with me. To not think about what we can do to each other, but what we can do for each other. Can you embrace the world through my eyes and not only yours?
Feel me not only when you're with me, but more or less when you're without me. Think with your heart and not your head. Follow your heart. Trust not only your heart, but mine. Can you laugh with me when everyone else is laughing at me. Sand up for me when the world is condemning me. Stand by me when the rest stand against me. Be us and not you. Be we and not me.
Can you invest in one and not two that stand apart? Can you trust. There are no second chances, can you give it all in the first shot? I don't want to grow in two different directions, but in one direction that has no ending. To focus on us is a task that needs to be handled like crystal. You can pretend that we will be a rock but in all reality we will always be like glass. WE will always need to be handled with care. Approach me like your most prized possession, not your old tattered shirt.
Can you cry to me? Can you cry for me? Can you cry? Let emotion flow. Be honest... even though it may hurt. Put yourself out there without precaution. Put yourself in my shoes. Unprotected, can you bear all? Be in our world not their world.
Can I look in your eyes and see our future? Or do I see your future?
