If I Go First
If I go first
And I think I might
If it seems I’ve left you behind
I promise that is not true
I promise that I will live on
Just vibrating to a different, yet holier beat
You may not see me with your eyes
But your heart will know I am always here
So, baby, you must have a faith
So true and strong
As we both wait patiently for the
Time we can glide and dive together
Through the celestial oceans of eternity
Just keep your heart aware and open
And listen for my words spoken quietly
In the wind blowing gently just out of reach
And live your life to its fullest
But always, always, always know
That when you need me
Just close your eyes and
Whisper my name
I will be there.
I will always be there
I have always been there

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
