you are what you love, not what loves you back.

[shellbeezy]

take my hand and help me place 
one foot in front of the other
help me stand and find a space.
a footrace, one we'll never win
but one that can be done again.
and though at the finish line there waits
no prize for tying or second place
if it's first you want, I'll be
your second place.
