But I know you know this,
But Iām here to remind you
I donāt want to chide youā
But letās focus on the practicalā
Running from the problem?
Shutting them up because itās hard?
On solutions not problemsā
But the problems need a moment
Letās acknowledge this is hard
The books fill my backpack
Iām bent over from the weight, still typing
An hour later, trying and fighting
To tell you all the right things
And comfort you with the love that I know
You can feel but now Iām tasked
This is the weight I carry
The weight it takes to love someone
I donāt believe in empty platitudes
I donāt believe in false hopes
I donāt believe in hollow promises
I want to get out my calendar
And plan things with you as soon
I wonāt tell you āitās all gonna be okayā
And if your mind is lying to you
I want to tell you the truth
I want to tell you the truth
If thatās how long it took
