When i was drowning in sorrow and despair,
you were right beside me, you were always there.
when my days were full with agony,
you extended your arms, you comforted me.
my life was gloomy, you lit a flame,
you made me believe, i wasn't to blame.
you helped me pull through another day,
you showed your love was here to stay.
when i cried, you dried the tears,
banished all my unwanted fears.
you held me tight when times got rough,
but for me that was not ever enough.
you expressed your love in a million ways,
i dismissed it, thought it was just a phase.
even after my hurtful refusal,
you didn't back down, you still stood tall.
your love for me increased with age,
but mine was locked within a cage.
i just couldn't chance my heart again,
i couldn't withstand the unimaginable pain.
but my feelings for you were undoubtedly intense,
i couldn't carry on this charade, this false pretense.
so i offered to you my tainted heart,
and you confided that we'd never part.
you expressed to me an eternal devotion,
and now I've come up with a steadfast notion.
never withdraw from the one thats always there,
declare how much you genuinely care.
for any doubts or apprehension you may feel,
will be replaced with a love thats somewhat surreal.
