I used to be free All too soon before I turned to stone The moment my guardian angel Stopped guarding me
I fell in love with a fairytale He was mine We were sweethearts A love story to be told More true than in the story books
An angel was sent to protect me He stayed He cared He loved me He never tried to leave
He told me every story I memorized every word Every movement Every glance Every smile
I know every detail Of anything he ever said He was my angel I was forever his He loved me forever and always
He never said goodnight without: "My Love" "My Beautiful Angel" "My Goddess" "Beautiful"
My heart So eager to feel love once He said we were soulmates I say we drew the right cards My dreams told me we were meant to guard each other
60 days, 4 hours, 1 minute, 12 seconds All the time we had before you were gone Every word, every memory, every dream Caught in a frame of time This was our first goodbye
261 days, 12 hours, 7 minutes, 50 seconds How long I have loved you as of 12:16am today Every second a reminder of when you left Every minute a debate to beg for your return Every day another attempt to cut my string of life
The difference? 201 days, 8 hours, 6 minutes, 38 seconds Every day, another stone I set for you to find her Every second of it another tear dropped from my eyes I didn't just cry you a river, I cried you a sea
180 days, 8 hours, 17 minutes The time it has been since you left for good I have been numbed I looked into Medusa's eye and chose to see her beauty Yet I still turned to stone
200 stones I have placed for you to find her Only one last step She is yours You are hers One more stone and one more tear and you can both be free
I have become stone Not the last step, but the first You have reached her at the sea I hope you can learn to see She will be the one to get you on one knee
I cried you a sea I let you turn me to stone I learned that guardian angels, They don't get told who to protect They go and find them on their own
A fairytale Too real to be true The story books only tell of the true loves kiss Never the oceans or the paths taken to get there A fairytale, and I get to see first hand that true love is theirs
