Don't let go
Not a day goes by that I don't ask God why I didn't find you earlier in life,
Before the women, before the bars before the misery and strife.
Before I thought like a young eaglet, that I could teach myself to fly
Only to plummet toward the ground where I thought that was the last thing I would see
But like a mother eagle swooping down to save her child you caught me.
I didn't make it easy because I didn't want to believe I needed you
You tried to get close but I pushed you away not knowing you needed me too
Faster and faster and further I fell all while you said “just talk to me”
“I want to understand so I can lend a helping hand” but I said “just let me be”
“You wouldn't understand, nobody ever does”
But you were not just somebody
You were placed in my path by God to be,
The exact puzzle piece that He designed to complete the masterpiece that was me.
And I think it's safe to say that we complete each other
When I am weak you are the strength God gave me
When I can't see you are my eyes, you are my guide
When my mind is cluttered with all life throws my way
You are there each and every day
You could have packed up and ran a long time ago
And I would not have blamed you
But you put up with my mess and for that I say “Thank You”
Thank you for the nights you were a shoulder to lean on
Thank you for the days you were someone I could call on
Thank you for the moments you helped me up
Thank you for the seconds you helped fill my cup
Words can't express how you make me feel
And sometimes I don't express that feeling like I should
But I want you to know that without you I would have fell a long time ago
So I ask that
No matter how hard,
No matter how tough,
No matter how long and,
No matter how rough
Don't let me go and I will hold on to you too
