Inner Child

When we love
it’s not us
not really.
We love with the child inside.
If we’re lucky
we find someone
who cradles it’s head
and says
“It’s ok,
it’s ok.”
 
“Do you know what you’re doing?”
 
“No, I never did, but by now I’m good at pretending.”
 
“The choices you make, where will they lead?”
 
“I don't know, but I’m happy they take me.”
 
“Do you think that the world’s a frightening place?”
 
“Every day, but with you it excites me.”
 
“Aren’t you afraid that no-one will see you?”
 
“You do, and the rest is there on the page.”
 
When we love
it’s not us
not really.
We love with the child inside.
If we’re lucky
we find someone
who cradles it’s head
and I know
that’s ok,
that’s ok.
