My Reason


Sometimes it hurts to live, To wake up and not have a reason to... It hurts to move, to remember, to want. That pain once constantly plagued my heart... Until I realized there IS a reason. A reason to wake up, to move on, to forgive, You are my reason- my love. When my heart aches with bitterness, Your love conquers all hate. When I cry because of the past, You make me want a future. When I feel forgotten, I remember that you hold my heart. When I feel I've no reason to live, You hold me 'till all the pain Dissolves into ash. When I dream of my future, I want you there- NEED you there to love me, And be the reason I make it that far.
