Missing you has created this emptiness
Liked a hunger unsatisfied it cry’s out

Do I love you? The answer’s yes
Yet I’m paralyzed from fear and doubt

There’s strength and power in this heart of mine
A heart that beats strong and proud

Am I Infatuated or is this real
Second guessing is not allowed

I’m scared I’ll lose you if I wait too long
A price I’m not ready to pay

But then again, what if I’m wrong
I know hurting us both is not OK

There’s so much I want to tell you
Things I must say

It seems so unfair
Do you feel the same way?

I’ve searched my heart
And waited so long

I want to take a chance
But I think it would be wrong

I want to remove things
That are keeping us apart

Although I’m not sure
Just where to start

I don’t have much time
Because my kidney’s are bad

It’s my biggest obstacle
And I’ll just make you sad

I know that you say
It’s going to be fine

But they said ten years
And it’s already been nine

But I want you to know
My love is for real

I’m so thankful for you
You’re the last love I’ll feel

I’m lucky to have you
And the love that you share

I want you to know
Just how much I care

I hope you understand
I hope that you see

That this the way
That it has to be

Please don’t be sad
I don’t want to hurt you

It’s the right thing to do
And I feel that I have to

It ****** me off
All the things that it’s taken

This kidney disease
Has left me forsaken

I know you’ll be there
Right to the end

I love you and you know that
You are my best friend.
