In All Ways

**Actually wrote this back in November, during a class, and just discovered my notebook **

A dream is a wish your heart makes, supposedly.

If this is true, I’d give up everything—

If I could always have, me and you.

Take my hand, don’t let go.

I’m tired of standing on my own.

I’d have all I’ve ever wanted

If I’d never have to say goodbye.

Je t’adore, te amo

In all ways, I love you

We take the beauty and the flaws

Our hearts are at the center of love’s laws.

Hold Your Hand

You tell me that

I need to start taking care of myself.

I’m not a mother,

Reel in how much I nurture.

My friends aren’t my responsibility,

They can make it through life on their own,

Find their own way.

Chorus:

So, I’m not gonna hold your hand.

I’m no longer your guide,

Stop thinking of me as your angel.

I don’t need all this drama

That you’re laying down at my feet.

It’s time to move on,

Don’t hold on to me like a child.

You think that you’re helping me,

But reality check

Is that you’re holding me back

And the words you say, the way you act

It’s all detrimental.

Grow up and find yourself,

Instead of telling me you’re jealous of my life.

Chorus

I’m not gonna hold your hand,

Don’t hold on to me like a child.
