I wouldn’t have changed you
I would’ve challenged you
That makes all the difference
- The Dalema. May 2, 2016.
Hold me
I’m falling quicker & harder by the minute
Is this happening again?
Are they all the same – is this all there is?
I’m not just some girl –
I’m different & you won’t be able to forget me
So drink me down like a shot you can take
Because the biggest mistake you’ll ever make
Is the one where you say goodbye.
- The Dalema. 2013.
The harshest reality: knowing how much you thought through all of this. Knowing, without a doubt, it meant never seeing me again for the rest of your life. Knowing that kiss, that drawn-out hug, that long stare into my tear-filled eyes, would be the last. You knew those final moments with me would become the closing words written on the last page of the few pages of my existence in the story of your life; and you still chose to say goodbye.

It’s the kind of night when
I’d rather keep myself wide awake
with thoughts of you,
than give into exhaustion –
and find myself peacefully sleeping
with dreams of us,
because eventually I would have to stop dreaming –
eventually I would have to wake up –
Losing you all over again.
That’s not the kind of morning
I want to wake up to.

I woke crying from a nightmare; in my nightmare I was losing you. Then reality set in and I realized it wasn’t a nightmare at all. It was my subconscious showing me the battles I face during the day are the same as those night terrors I try conquering while asleep.
Either way, asleep or awake, I’ll fight for you – for us.
