We might be each other's Everest
We kept climbing through the blizzards
Grateful for moments of clarity after sunset
It was truly so beautiful together in the quiet & endless
Then
Wasn't it
Suddenly the ground breaks, everything slips away, we try
to hold on keep reaching up-hill while we fight the blows
With hearts against our senses people left behind still
Waiting for us to come down questioning our reasons we
insisted testing space with time we found our limits

We did progress slowly, gradually somehow we forgot to take
notice how we kept moving forward between our downfalls into
home base we'd go resting in our lonely selves and
Again heading to first-base each time growing
Stronger wiser several times we thought we could make it

No one would blame us for trying
So hard so much we earned a title of bravery for life
Or stupidity -  whatever stubborn endurance is worth now
We could easily climb other mountains I guess
Most climbers never make it to the top alive and
Few even seem to try so no one who witnessed our struggle
Could blame us for failing
Except, perhaps, you and I
