We’ve been together.

We’ve been growing
we’ve been holding it in
we’ve been letting it out
we’ve been together.

Here we are speaking
here we are feeling
here we are living
here we are together.

Staying in our home
staying within our place of safety
staying in the comfort of us
staying in together.

We’ve been feeling our anger
we’ve been feeling our happiness
we’ve been feeling the frustration
we’ve been feeling here together.

Sharing the words
sharing the thoughts
sharing the laughter
sharing it here together.

It gets hard
it gets easy
it gets hard
it is all of it together.

Because together we are living
together we are fearing
together we know
one of us will outlast the other
it’s a painful thought
that together we don’t quite admit
because I know without you
I’ll feel a loneliness
that before you
was impossible.

Thanks for reading.
