Once and Again

The ups
the downs
The smiles
the frowns
Upon the heads with thorny crowns

The joy
the pain
The fire
the rain
And all the demons to be slain

Here

here I sit

With my face in my hands
and my fate...in yours

Do you?

Do you mind?

Do you mind if I brag about you?

Do you mind if I laugh with you?

Do you mind if I cry with you?

Do you mind if I swim with you?

Do you mind if I drown with you?

Do you mind if I'm reborn with you?

Do you mind if we slay our demons today?

Do you mind if we invite in new ones?

Do you mind if we chase the sun while secretly wishing for the moon?

Do you mind if we fall in love . . . again?

Do you?
