Unravel
You blew me away, like a
feather in the wind.
The very first second I saw you,
I knew there
was no way I could keep up. You swept me
away with your wild currents.
When I first met you,
I thought, I was weak.
I thought you would surely extinguish my flame
with the tiniest whisper.
But you showed me that I
needed
you to be stronger,
that I needed you to burn brighter,
not because I was weak, not because I needed a man, but
because you were my
other half.
