One of my friends asked me why I got up so early.
I just told him I didn't know,
When really,
It's so that I don't stay up late,
And miss you.

If the rain is falling
And you're stuck outside
Just know my arms will be a
Safe place to hide

As I walk these crowded halls
getting lost in the sea of people around me,
You are gone
and I have never felt so lonely.

I have always been an incomplete song
You were the chorus
I have always been missing

In 17 years of mistakes
And regrets,
Wrong turns and
Bad decisions,
You are the first thing
To feel right.

Some nights I'll need you
To hold me a little tighter.
For those are the nights that
My world shakes, and I might
Break apart.

Some nights you'll need me
To hold you a little tighter,
And I may not be very strong,
But on those nights,
I will hold you like you are the only thing
I have to hold on to.

I need to understand
That just because the timing was perfect for me
Doesn't mean it was perfect for you.
And no matter how hard I pray
There may never be a perfect time
For us.

I cannot stop the storm
But I will shield you from the rain
I will do whatever I can
To help you ease your pain.

I cannot keep your world from crumbling
But I'll help you start again
And if you need help picking up the pieces
I will lend a hand.

I cannot keep you from walking away
But just know I would love it
If you stayed

If the demons
Are sitting on your lungs
And stealing all the air from you,
I will put my lips to yours
And breathe life back into you.

When the storms rage
Don't be afraid
for I will am here
Until the end of
Our days.

Ask for a planet I'll give you a galaxy.
Ask for a word I'll write you a poem.
I will do anything to see you happy.

Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough
To have you next to me
But for now I'll just have
To keep you in my poetry
