Dear You

[Shi-chan]

As soon as the words had left me,
"I need you to save me"
You came running to help.
Without ever hesitating you held me close
whispered in my ear
simple words of comfort,
All I ever needed to hear.
I screamed as loud as possible
"I need you to save me ... Please..."
Running as fast as possible,
So I could reach you.
Losing my breath, slowly.
I wanted to be your hero,
but instead I end up being the one who's saved.
Chasing you, running to catch just a fragment of your wings
Dreams shattered and then glued back together
All I really want is to be close to you,
But I won't admit that to anyone, just yet.
I want to say so many things,
But I think I can sum it up in two words.
"Thank You"
Everything in this moment overflowing with emotion,
everything covered in the light if sunsets and rainbows.
The world glows brilliantly and becomes something more
Than just a place.
Someday, the path leading to you will be gone,
But until then, I'll walk slowly, towards you,
no, next to you, holding your hand.
I'll smile to show you how well I can fly,
I'll break through the clouds and shine brighter than anyone.
Strong and determined.
Becoming someone's hero.
