Embracing Love's Fragility: The Workday Release Journey
Lyrics
For two years I loved you
Expressing a two-year duration of love towards someone.
For two years I knew
Affirmation of understanding the person for the same two-year period.
For two years I stood at a distance
Describing two years of maintaining a certain emotional distance.
But two weeks ago with you here in my bed
Recent physical proximity mentioned, highlighting a change in the relationship.
I promised you all that I am
Making a commitment to share one's true self with the other person.
It's not an every day kind of finding
Expressing that the connection is not an everyday occurrence; it's special.
It's good and it's rare
Describing the rarity and goodness of the found connection.
And every time I say no
Acknowledging reluctance or refusal to something significant.
I know I'm killing you, dear
Understanding the impact of saying 'no' and the emotional toll it takes on the other person.
But two years is too long to be wasting away
Expressing regret for two years spent in a state of emotional neglect.
Cause I'm afraid of what it takes to come closer
Fear of the challenges involved in getting closer emotionally.
And although two weeks ago I was lost in your eyes
Reflecting on a recent moment of deep connection expressed through eye contact.
Tonight you went back alone crying
Contrast between a recent intimate moment and the current emotional distress.
It's not an every day kind of finding
Re-emphasizing the special nature of the relationship discovery.
It's good and it's rare
Repeating the rarity and goodness of the found emotional connection.
And every time I run out
Noting the persistence of emotional resonance even in absence.
I can still hear you singing
Recalling the other person's singing, suggesting a lasting impact.
Don't go
Direct plea not to go.
Please don't leave
Repetition of the plea for the other person not to leave.
Darling, life is full of these things
Acknowledging life's complexities and challenges.
We're a mess
Admitting to the messiness of the relationship.
This I know
Reiterating love despite the acknowledged difficulties.
But I'm in love with you and we were so close
Affirmation of the closeness that was once present in the relationship.
