I never asked you to love me
but you built a foundation
strong enough to carry the weight
of the baggage I forgot I carried
You made me believe your vows of fated souls
in your arms is the only safety I’ve known
without realizing, my hands were
no longer bound to yesterday
Liberated from fear unshackled
you were the only one I never doubted
we danced on the sidewalk in the rain
and found peace sharing sunrise over the bay
You made miracles with laughing eyes
and twisted logic into magic with a smile
you healed my soul in promises
of ‘no matter what’…
You were happy just to love me
never asking me to love you back
and I believed you
Life on separate paths
you promised you’d always be my
safe harbor in stormy seas
I never trusted blind, but I trusted you
I found you in my veins
the heart that breathed life
into a broken girl
healed in unconditional, timeless love
Passion unabated, we were the best of friends
who grew into fairytale love, never ending
Bound through time, it was all I never doubted
You were happy just to love me
never asking me to love you back
and I believed you
My rock, my truth, my only love
you lost your words before I realized
that forever is in fact finite
and I face the silence alone
Floating over dust
with no place to stand
you made me need you
after I built a life never needing anyone
You were happy just to love me
never asking me to love you back
and I believed you
Come say farewell in gentle truth
that promises you were real
let me feel your lips in soothing tones
to remember all the good we were
When you were happy just to love me
never asking me to love you back
…and I believed you
