on shoulder

i might not be beside you, but i won’t be far
i’ll be lookin’ over you like northern stars.
— Even When I'm Not, The Wild Robot

: it’s stressful.

: it’s depressing.

: worst case scenario…

: i just want to sleep.

you always say them casually,

like you are just barely surviving.

however, i see;

i see you struggling,

i see you crawling,

i see you hanging.

fear not, here i come.

: are you tired?

: i just want to go back and sleep.

: well, my shoulder is free.


I'm gonna live forever in you;
Long as the sky and oceans are blue.
I'll always love you, and I'll never stop;
I'll always be there, even when I'm not.

I know the world can turn into a lonely place;
Can break your heart and paint the teardrops on your face.
I might not be beside you, but I won't be far;
I'll be lookin' over you like Northern stars.
