I stepped in with care –
Despite that we fight.
I try to find middle ground –
You can’t read what I write…

You are not open nor out,
So you hold my hand,
Only in my castle grounds,
Or when I misunderstand…

I will love you –
The one way I know.
It won’t lessen.
It will only grow.

You are young and scared,
I am scared I am old;
Your goals are diamonds,
My hope merely gold.
