Over a decade you've been there
through happiness, chaos and despair
you i lean on when things go wrong
you push me always to be strong
without that bond i'd be a bigger mess
without that strength i'd never rest
you've been my hold in this crazy life
good and bad aside, you are my wife
as time marches on and we all change
our lives evolve as we do, it's all rearranged
for the rest of the world im almost always hiding
put myself in a dark room with no sliver of lighting
but for you ive brought a torch to see
though i try to blow it out constantly
even then when we sit with no light together
you're hand in mine, a solid tether
a form from shadows comes in to vision
as time goes on im seen with more precision
while i may feel cold, broken and alone
you speak straight to my heart in a calming tone
and i know that you've seen me for who i could be
were the lights turned on, doors unlocked and free
it's because of this thing that you always do
that i will never give up on the bond i have with you
i will always hope that you and i make it
and less and less will i hide myself or fake it
for the years you've given me that i haven't earned
i will become better and give you the same in return
regardless of how it ends im happy to say
because i woke up besides you, it's a wonderful day.
