I'm afraid of heights, but if you were on the balcony of a 60 story building ready to jump at 3am, I'd sit with you until the sun set again listening to your life story. I'm afraid of sharp objects, they make me think of my past, but if you held a blade to your skin, crying in the shower, I'd barge in and hold you until the water got cold, soaking into my clothes. I avoid dark alleys and walks at night, but if I woke up without you next to me, I'd wander the city looking for the trail that would lead you home. Depression isn't new to me, I'm familiar with how distorted reality gets and how hard it is to hold on. I'll tie a rope from my heart to yours, so one of us is always there to pull the other back.

For the kids with lonely days the one's without a shoulder to cry on                                                 a razor to cut with                                                 or a hand to hold For the kids that lost love yesterday with no hope for tomorrow For the kids who stand out in a crowd because the black cloud isn't welcome For the kids with broken families the ones that don't care                                 understand                                 or know For the kids that grew up too quickly but didn't mature For the ones with too many insecurities to go further For the kids that don't believe it, and for the one's that just don't care Life gets better, once you get there.

for:
You are my life Mornings, noon’s, and midnights. My sign in everyday That its going to be alright. A sign that this distance can’t keep us awake at night And we can sleep tight Knowing that our future together is bright And I know its hard To open your eyes each day While I’m not there to wipe the tears away I’m not there to hold your hand, Or kiss your lips, But baby, you hold my heart And it’s kissed by every smile you start Every breath you breathe Makes me melt …and every word you speak lets me know That with this hand we’re dealt …it isn’t impossible to win It isn’t impossible to be felt That I’ll hold you in my arms And never let go Cause baby, don’t you know? That you’re mine. You’re my little piece of sunshine. And it must be divine You must be my soul mate This must be fate It’s gotta be, Cause baby, I’ll wait
