Holder of My Heart

Counting them down:
One more day,
One more hour,
One last moment until I can finally
Fall asleep.

Anything to numb the pain of knowing you're not here;
That you're gone.
And waste away the days until I can gaze into your eyes once more,
Those eyes that pierce straight to my core,
And help me feel alive again.
The eyes that tell me there's more to life that this.

A few more moments to kill until I can bury myself in your arms once again
So I don't have to feel like I'm constantly falling apart,
Because I'm tired of picking up the pieces.

You chase away all of the pain and fear that keeps me here.
You give me hope, and purpose;
That I have something to live for;
Someone to hold; someone to love.
I know I'm far from perfect,
And I could never understand why you always come back to me.
And I'm learning that even though times get hard,
It's oh, so worth it.
And that without you, nothing makes sense anymore.

The world doesn't seem quite as bright without you in it.
Nothing seems right without you here.
Every road I see set before me sends me back to you.
As fast as my feet can carry me, I'm running back to you;
At the speed of headlights, I'm coming home to you.
You give my life meaning, my darling, my lover, my friend.
You are my heart's keeper.
Until the sun bursts into flames,
The stars fall from the sky,
And the moon grows dim;

You are the holder of my heart.
