Having you beside me was the best I’ve ever known,
You tried so hard to keep me from feeling all alone.
Would you stay a little longer, never disappear?
Would you teach me how to smile, and keep me near?
So little in this world could take me far from you,
For even in your absence, my heart remains so true.
And if you ever need me, wherever you may be,
You know that I’ll come running, wherever life takes me.
I know the pain you’ve carried through the years,
The silent nights, the sorrow, and the tears.
And though I cannot change what came before,
I’d give you all my love, and something more.
You had my time in all the days gone by,
You’ll have my time until the stars run dry.
You gave your heart to moments small and bright,
And made my darkest days a little light.
So tell me, why should anything now change?
Why should our hearts become so far and strange?
And when tomorrow comes, I have one fear:
Will I ever see you once again, my dear?
Don’t count on me to come another day,
Perhaps this isn’t where our story fades away.
But never hold on to a love that brings you pain,
Just because someone has the time to stay.
And never miss the ones who made you cry,
Who taught your heart to break, then said goodbye.
I understand. I know that you are right,
You cared for what I felt, through every night.
And for the kindness that you’ve always shown,
You’re one in a million, unlike anyone I’ve known.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t see before,
The heart behind the person I adore.
We judged you by the shadows of your past,
And I was one of those who judged too fast.
But somehow, knowing you has brought me peace,
A quiet warmth I never wish to cease.
And when the world feels like an endless sea,
All I could ever wish for is you and me.
No perfect story, no eternity,
Just little moments where we’re free to be.
And if tomorrow takes away all we can see,
I’d still choose us, just you and me.
For I have found a heart so rare and true,
And I have no intention of leaving you.
