Up Until This Time

hours and hours,
it’s like a wall, extending,
your hand gives me something
to hold and climb.
of course it’s warmer inside,
but let’s go. oh overjoyed.
hours and hours, over, to stay.
but i’m so scared.
do you know what it would mean to me?
i can’t promise you not to go,
i can ('t) promise you to stay.
i can’t promise you not to go,
i can’t promise you it’ll be okay.
