We heard their scorn

drift on the airwaves

but too late

to reach us up here.

Where we climbed above them

to the mountaintop

gripping down with each step

fighting the fear.

I will fight for you

whispered worriedly into the winds

that carried us

away from each other

and back again.

You are mine to hold

when they all say no

and can’t understand

the way love will transcend

every doubt,

every falter,

every barrier we will face.

So let us reach

the highest mountains

above the clouds

and find our place,

together.

We were meant to be together.
