Eighteen

Eighteen
Someone like me
She's carried it all
Yes she's not running for the hills

Sat by me
Legs crossed under the night sky
No warning
I didn't think that I'd cry
I still remember your roll-neck sweater
Every word, ever letter said

She said so
You can let it go now
You can take your walls down
Don't bottle up when you're with me

Just know that
You can let it show and
You're not on your own now
Take a breath and count to three

Hold my heart between your hands and never let go of me
Am I ready to get up this time?
Standing on my own feet
I can't help it if I fall again
Places I've never been
To be vulnerable feels dangerous now
Is it selfish if I just wanna be seen?

Oh, her words make me hope
When facing a world where I am
Small again, crushed under the heap
But she makes me smile and
Those words are the memories that I'll keep

So you can let it go now
You can take your walls down
It's okay now, you're with me
