Always Be There
Do you know how much I love you?
How much I care?
Come hell or high water
Even long distance
I’ll always be there
I’ve traveled through the darkness
Through the burdens
Through the pain
To come out stronger… and more self-aware
I blame you for this turn
You saved me
Wrapped me in your arms
Told me the world would be okay
Shared with me the laughs
Even the tears
Made me feel safe…
Sound, comfortable, and secure
It’s hard to believe
We met so long ago
So young and naïve
Full life, still confused
Passing letters in the halls
Talking for hours without end
From friends, we became more
Letting it develop
This relationship we had
So full of limits and confines
At the time…
Just not meant to be
Through time
Through space
The years seems to have flew by
Friends we always stayed
Even through some loss of touch
You went your way
I went mine
Our paths refused to cross
With other people
We tried to find love
Instead we found ourselves
What we wanted
And what we didn’t
Instead we found each other
Once again talking
Refueling that bond
That fire
I’d never thought we’d be this way again
So much deeper
So much more involved
To have you
To hold you
Knowing your mine
Knowing that – because of you – I never have to be afraid
You crashed through my walls
Crawled under my skin
Took my heart in your hands
And saw my soul with your searching eyes
If you ever need me
No matter when
No matter where
Just say my name
Imagine my face
Hear my voice
For you, I will always be there…
