I once lived with my heads in the clouds, like the dreamer who tried to imagine all the boundless possibilities, whether it was within reach or if it was so far away that the only way to get there was an unfathomable adventure through unknown and terrifying places.
Most people would go on this adventure alone, but for me, I took that journey with someone. Someone who I would hinge my trust in, someone who I would protect dearly and that I would fight to the death for. Those terrifying places didn't seem so bad. Those monsters weren't that big and nothing was too tough.
Along the way, I ended up going the rest of the way alone.
The adventure was too hard.
Those monsters, were too big after all.
I swore to myself that I'd get through the adventure, whether it was with someone or without someone and I'd do it without ever looking back, without needing anything but myself.
I slayed all the beasts, injuries be damned.
Within time, the adventure grew tiresome. The thrill wasn't worth it. Those dreams were too far. My head in the clouds, it was pulled back down with gravity. Once you've been there for so long, you forget what the dream was all about and it was fine. All the responsibility and the realism of it all keeps you bound in a perpetual circle of mediocre tolerance.
It was fine.
Then you came around and some how, you became the exception. The reminder that I'm still on this adventure. The scars had long healed while they're not to be seen physically, they were there, and it was time move.
What was it like to fly in the sky again?
The pull of the earth is too strong.
Would it be bothersome if I told you, that I needed you?
Because I was fine. But now I want to be great.
Is it crazy to say, that maybe you needed me too?
To hold you when you fall and to fight the monsters that are too strong.
Could you say, that I was your only exception?
Since, you were my exception.
If I said that I wanted you to come along, would you come?
This chance only comes around every so often.
Do you feel that I'm worth it?
I'd say that you were worth it.
I would've been fine where I was. Content with living in those terrifying places and no one was going to change that... and I would've never known I needed somebody because you were the only exception.
