at a time

i slipped
and you caught me
at a time
when i thought
i was going to keep falling

my heart stopped
and you started it
again
at a time
when i thought
i was going to die

and i look
into your eyes
for life
and i breathe in
your laughter
for warmth

and again
and again

you save me
from myself

thank you
for you

thank you
for letting me
love you

to be free
in the sunlight
once more

to soar
forevermore

(grow)
