One Step Until Dawn Poem by Genesis Bernaldez

'Go, catch him before it's too late
Don't worry about me, I understand
I know it's hard, but there's nothing for me to hate
If there's anything wrong, surely you can stand.'

Those words are the hardest for lovers to say
Those moments are the unexpected ones for dreamers
Those who lost had a dissimilar day
They are the ones who lost their long awaited partners

If these words are for me to speak
Then I guess I won't have the strength
To hold this wonderful gift
Knowing it's not mine to open

How destructive it is to our soul
How impudent our fate to us
As it happens, somebody takes it all
And at the same time, some will lose.

For whoever can foretell his brokenness
Lift your head up and show what you can do best
Even though you are longed by your weakness
You have to face it no matter what the cost is
