your deep blue eyes are so mystical, so beautiful, so bright;
but they hide so much hurt, and i want to help heal you.
you go through so much, how can i begin to try to tell you that it's alright?
especially when the fall has crumbled everything you once knew?

you tell me i'm strong, but you are stronger
i don't know how you endure the weight you unfairly carry.
when we're together, i wish the moments were longer
i want to lighten your mind, make the thoughts less scary.

every time i get close to you confiding in me,
you box yourself up, and hide deep inside your mind.
but i just want you to understand, i want you to see
that you and i are cohesive, perfectly aligned.

you are perfect to me, just the way you are.
i would never change one thing about you.
young or old, bad or good,  near or far-
i'll always be by your side, i won't leave no matter what you do.

our minds, they are a toxic place.
we look inside them for insight, but usually just get trapped.
but, when i look at you, and you touch my face
i save you, and you save me, from being kidnapped.

we've both been through so much,
and we have grown, we've adapted, we're stronger now.
when we come together and our hands touch,
i realize that we've endured so much, somehow.

we build each other up, together, our chemicals react.
we envelop each other, and for a while, we forget.
in each other's worlds, we've made such an impact
and i, am forever in your debt.

i'm so sorry, for everything that i've done.
i've been a coward, i've been afraid, i didn't do the right thing.
but in the end, i overcame myself, and i can see the sun.
now i will help you create your upswing.

mark my words, i will never abandon you.
you've had enough of that for one lifetime.
there's not one thing you could do
to make me run. i'll be here, anytime.

take my hand, and we will grow and heal together
life is so unkind, but true compassion can truly heal us.
i promise you, we can get through this stormy weather
and the thunderclouds, will once again be cirrhus.
