I laid eyes upon this gem A gem I knew I might Keep it safe with all my heart And my soul with unconditional strength To defend and to sustain To build a bridge to gain Forever willing to break my back Just to see you smile again. I got my chains uncuffed From my wrist, allowing me to reach for you Showing possibilities that it might never be true Am I not shouting loud enough right in front of you I'm the loudest cliché you'll ever hear Coming from my mouth that speaks of truth Sorrows and remorse bursting my ear But you reached your hands out to soothe, me Following you into darkness and light Without questioning to where we're going Till the horn blows, and till the siren sings Dear you My heart it beats, it beats so quickly, Listening to my bones rattle under my skin My palms moist and my knees are weakening My world stops and I hear myself breathing I'll hold you and I'll keep you under shelter, To show you love you'll never know To love is to give, And I have given you, my everything.
