i know that i should feel alone

as cold wind whips through my hair

i know that i should be afraid

that my heart should pound

and i should hesitate.

i don’t know why i’m so confident

how i can stand so tall

with my back so straight.

the things i know i’ll have to face

my shattered dreams and

endless race

my future is uncertainty

i should move with caution

one step…then wait.

i know that i should feel alone

i should not go on

i should play it safe…

but i cant.

i’m sorry…

safe

was never in our vocabulary

and i know your footsteps

are still beside me.
