I was there.

Through the rough break up.

I was there.

Through the heartbreak of your dreams not coming true.

I was there.

Through your journey to God.

I was there.

Through your oath.

I was there.

You were there.

Through the heartbreaks.

You were there.

Through the panic.

You were there.

Through the news.

You were there.

Then you weren’t.

Mine to claim.

Then you weren’t.

The glue to hold me together.

Then you weren’t.

But you’ll always be.

My what if.

You’ll always be.

My light in the dark.

You’ll always be.

The reason I keep trying.

You’ll always be.

Mine.

Without the claim.

Mine.

Without the years.

Mine.

In my head.

Forever my love.

In my head.
