Only Us - by Grace Kiconco

Tell me where your heart wants to go,I’ll meet you somewhere no one knows.No rush, no promises we can’t keep,Just stay beside me and breathe. Tell me what you dream aboutwhen nobody else is listening.Tell me the places you want to see,the things that keep you awake at night.I want to know all of it,not just the beautiful parts,but the unfinished ones too. I want to show you the parts of meI hide from everybody else.The places that still need a little faith,the pieces I’m learning to accept.I want you to know mewithout the polished version,without the walls,without pretending I have everything figured out. So give me one reason to believe,one reason to let you get close.I don’t need perfect.I don’t need forever tonight.I just need something real enoughto make me stop being afraid. And maybe that's what you are,a reason to put my guard down,a reason to believethat being understooddoesn't have to hurt. Because somehow,in a world that asks for so much,you feel like enough. You don't have to save me.You don't have to fix every broken thing.Just sit with me when the world gets heavy.Hold my hand when I don't know what to say.Remind me that I don't have to carryeverything alone. And if everything went quiet,if the lights went out,if there was nowhere left to run,I think I'd still choose you. Not because I need someone,but because out of everyoneI could have found,I found you. And I'd choose the slow mornings,the late night conversations,the stupid little jokesthat only make sense to us.I'd choose the silencethat doesn't feel awkward,the kind where we can simply existbeside each other. I'd choose learning you,your favorite songs,your little habits,the way your voice changeswhen you're excited,the things you never say out loudbut hope someone notices. And I want you to learn me too. Learn the moments when I need reassurance.Learn when I want to talkand when I just need you close.Learn the dreams I’m too scared to saybecause saying them makes them real. Let's build somethingthat doesn't have to be loudto be undeniable. Something that feels like homewithout needing four walls. No crowd.No noise.No tomorrow to worry about. Just your hand in mine,my heart against yours,and the whole worldsomewhere beyond the door. For a little while,nothing else matters. No expectations.No pretending.No fear. Just you looking at melike I am worth staying for,and me looking backlike I finally foundwhere I want to be. Only you.Only me.Only us.
