Holding



The beauty of your smile
Takes me miles and miles
The relief it comes with
Is one that is beyond width
I’m helplessly falling for you
Not endlessly going for you
Cause I see forever in your eyes
But rather I keep going for the hides
Your imperfections are perfect in everyway
You are the reason
There’s beauty in each season
You help me find ease
With this maze I call life
Trying to find a way out easily
But this world is too fizzy
Love doesn’t go my way
So it’s better you just keep away
But all in all I need you to stay
Cause I’m not giving up on you
