i have known
the pain
in giving up
and so also
the joys
of togetherness

looking at you
i will hold on
not just in this life
but for all
when i am born

to soak in your love
that drenches me down
to hear you
breathing next to me
to feel the racing pulse
and your racing heartbeats
when i am with you
to stare in your eyes
when they scream
your silent love
to snug by
in cold nights
to roam about
in wilderness
to kiss the sky
in moment of tenderness

how possibly then
i could just give up

i have known the pain
in giving up
and so also
the joys
of togetherness

looking at you
i will hold on
not just in this life
but for all
when i am born
