The Good by Ruth McGill

You ran away with me today
As far as we could from the shade
Met at the corner of joy and being understood
So
We’ll take the good with the good with good with the good
You filled up the belly of my livelihood

We passed by the place where we both had been
uncertain and unseen
Smiled at the worth of those steep learning curves
So
we’ll take the good with the good with the good with the good
And we’ll fill up the world with each of our livelihoods

With both hands.
With both hands, holding.
With both hands.
With both hands, holding on.

The rate that it takes for a heart to race
Or at least these 2 hearts in this case
To cram the world into such a tight space
Oh
It’s been said it’s been done but never tried again & again & again
All clocks set to the dial of loving
with both arms
with both arms
holding.

with both arms
with both arms
holding on.

I got back home just this second
Though it’s feels like hours
Covered my eyes with my hands to feign a surprise element
But when I awoke you were not there
And I set my heart to searching forever for you
with all of me
with all of me
with all of me
