My darling forget your hurts for I have forgotten mine There are embers burning Inside your heart Trying to start flames From past troubles But my dear My dear I know it hurts But you have to stop Fanning old fires You are no longer What you were So let it die Rise from the ashes You are far stronger Than you believe Brush the soot Off of your shoulders The storm clouds behind the blue of your eyes have disappeared but you have left the smoke My darling it will clear It will not last forever And even if it did You would not be Any less than you are Even if life is never The way you expected You are only stronger Than I ever thought you were I know right now It is hard So crumble if you must. But know I will be here Through the fires and storms I am no stranger to the maze you have created for yourself I will stand outside Until you find your way out
