Love


My head on your shoulder

Your fingers in my hand

Naked hearts

Broken parts

For one another to see

 

My tears on your cheeks

Your sorrows on my shoulders

Standing together

Walking forever

Against the tsunami of life

 

Laughing in the firelight

Stories under stars

Magic charms

Strong arms

Holding to the future

 

Darkest secrets brought to light

Healing wounds and pain

Learn together

Live forever

Time of sacrifice

 

Why do I work?

Why do stay?

Because I love you

In every single way
