When with you, I live
Full of love within my heart
Without, I exist

Although we’re apart, I have this thought in my mind
This internal belief that our souls are aligned
I felt it at first, not really sure how
And its grown inside me to where I am now

I look at where we are, now that we are apart
I see an opportunity to grow in my heart
A chance to look back and and review where we’ve been
And how much I can grow deep down within

To be the man that deserves your love
‘Cause that’s what I need when push comes to shove
And to be the man, to give you the moon
To love you and hold you, sun or monsoon

You’re simply the best, perfect in my eyes
And up to that standard is where I will strive
A long way to go, I know that for sure
But a lot can be done for love that is pure  

So until the day, that we can reunite
I will continue to claw and fight
To better myself to the place you deserve
To make sure our love is always preserved

And when that day comes, and I have the chance
To once again be with you in romance
You’ll see in my eyes, a glare, a glance
As we smile and laugh and love and dance

That we are forever and ever aligned
It's just how you and I were designed
Destined to be in love forever
My home is with you, when we are together

I had a dream last night; I guess more of a nightmare
It was of you, like all these nights, but this gave me a scare

I went outside along the water and started on a walk
And after a few steps I thought I saw you in the dark
I walked along to see your face and get a closer look
Hoping you were there for me and looking for a talk

You told me you had found someone, you thought he was the one
And that was fine with me until I saw what he had done
Your eyes were bruised and bloodshot and your face was swelling up
I guess this man thought hurting you would make him feel more tough

I couldn’t bear the sight of you in excruciating pain
I tried to stay composed but all my efforts were in vain
The thought of someone hurting you was too much too contain
But you came to me so by your side, I knew must remain

I took you in and cleaned you up and made you feel at home
It killed me to know your pain and how much you had felt alone

And then I woke at 4am in a puddle of my own sweat
There was no chance of dozing back, I was way too upset
So up I rose, after my prayers, and went out to that spot
Thankful not to see you there; hurt you he had not
And there I sat for hours all alone, tears in my eyes
Thinking of my love for you as I took in the sunrise

My dream last night it felt so real
The whole world seemed just right
You and I were holding hands
As we walked throughout the night

We talked, we laughed we felt the joy
Of hopeless love and bliss
And when the night came to an end
We shared a gentle kiss

I woke this morning with a smile
Expecting to see you there
But instead I got my daily reminder
That half my bed is bare

I’m thankful that at least I dream
And get to see your face
And hear your voice and touch your skin
For that, I can't replace

The thought of not seeing you - I shiver and shake
This feeling. The Pain. I can hardly take
What if I spiral and fall down alone?
Would you care? Has your love for me become fully outgrown?

Why did you give me that sliver of hope?
Did you want me to feel this? Did you want me to mope?
Did you want me to head down this slippery *****
Of love, regrets, and heartbreak to cope?

Is that, after weeks, what you wanted to hear?
About every time that I shed a tear?
More than I can count, I promise you that
The loss of your love is too hard to combat

Or did you really mean that one day you might
come around and again see the light?
That sometime in the weeks months or years ahead
You might realize that it’s me instead?
The person with you when you sit back and dream
The person who completes your romantic team

I choose to believe that’s what you had in mind
When you dropped on me, that specific line
And that’s why I sit and stair at my phone
Waiting for the day that my heart can come home

Waiting for you to feel like I do
That we belong together like we always knew

At list I did - from the very start
I knew in, my mind, my soul and in my heart
It started that very first afternoon  
And each day since, you’ve become more of my moon

If there is life that you want to live
I would wait forever and still forgive

I don’t care if I’m plan B, or C, or after Z
If there are people you want to see
As long as you eventually get to me
I’d be happy to be patient, indefinitely

To me, there is only one path I see
It starts and ends with you and me
So if I need to wait for you
Until you you recognize it too
Then wait, I shall, as long as it takes
Despite each days endless heartbreaks
It will all be worth it, hopefully, soon
When our love reunites in harmonic tune

It is days like these that we must always remember
That life is so fragile - the Eleventh of September

And so I spend this day, thinking of you
Wishing that we were talking this through
Praying that you may reach out to me
So that I could say what you mean to me

It’s days like this that help us remember
To put down our guard, give in and surrender

I wish I could tell you today especially
How much you mean, how special you are to me

Since I can’t hold you or tell you in person
And you’d rather not hear from me, that I’m certain

I hope that one day you’ll sit down and read
And think to yourself, indeed, I agree

I have just one thing to say to you
Given all the things that we’ve been through
What we’ve gained, lost, and learned together
I love you and miss you and will forever
