i keep meeting you

i met you on the silent corner of my village you were so young so "cheerful", trying so hard god, so damn hard to be everything for everyone i met you on the morning after travelling chest so full of adventure wishing to forget why you want to keep coming home god, wishing to put pause on your stupid heart i met you almost trembling on the stairs full of 'this is the moment' when in reality there were much bigger hills to cross god, but you somehow knew i met you scared with the tiny human in your arms god, so damn scared i wish you'd knew you were going to be okay and also even worse
