Analysis of Between
I'm stumbling on words
when i see your name light up
i go numb
as you look at me or when you talk
the whole world gets quiet around me.
my heart beats so fast and
when it slows
my brain loses control.
when i utter words they come out
unrecognizable
it's because I'm in love.
as you speak to me about
the future, the things we both want to see
you and i are forever one
no matter how big the sea.
the love i have for you
will never drown.
no matter how big
a tsunami gets
I'm willing to survive it with one, two, even
three times the breath.
i will fight to get to you.
and to say yes to you!
