Never Letting Go


I refuse to stand here without you Choosing to move forward knowing we'll find each other again Here I try attempting this impossible task But soon realizing there is no need We may still hold each other while we are apart While we fix our lives and we stitch our wound Abandonment is what my heart fears most And it clings desperately when it cannot have you in hand I've done that before and it broke our hearts My fear took over again that time around However, my love for you only grows Fear is merely pettiness compared to my love for you Yes, I admit fear blinded me with what we need least But your love for me overshadows that messy thinking And so here I am, a lost soul finding inner peace When I do something for me it is for you as well It is for us for we were created to be with one another And here I stand, no, here I walk on a path seemingly alone In all reality you're always here with me Even now during the longest moment apart I feel your presence You may ask yourself why and that has the simplest of answers I'm never letting go of you You found a place in my soul to stay My romantic heart belongs only to you Never has my being known how much someone belongs in my life Knowing there is wondrous journeys and painful experiences with you And accepting all of everything with you Willing to go through hellish emotions and heavenly feelings At the end of the day it's all worth it For our souls are meant to be dealt damages together We are individuals human beings with individual minds But parts of our souls have merged to become one powerful spirit
