The Lord has no understanding of the pain facing humanity
The torture one has to go through to go from morning to night
A smile can take all the strength a man has to give
the light in a girls eyes may leave her heart breaking into pieces
a childs laughter may lead to him weeping for days thereafter
He fails to see how life can be so dark in it's beauty and imperfection
When the day is closing in around us when I'm with you
I let the darkness seal us together and I know that I need you in my life
You help me see the green the blue and the gold
the dreams, the desires, the hopes and all the possibilities this world holds
You hands upon my skin keep me grounded
the smiles that cross your face as you talk to me make me breathe calmer
I have lived through pain and torment for so many years
people have said they understand my actions and the scars that map my skin
I have born witness to the doubt,
the confusion and the lies cross their faces as they speak
Seen the pain, the pity and the sorrow in their eyes
With you though there has been compassion and understanding
there has been love and care for what I have endured
but there has been pride in your eyes for the woman I am now.
So as I fall to my knees deep in prayer for the understanding and belief to carry on
it is not to a God above I wish to hear me but the mortal man who sees me
I am not broken anymore I am stronger that I have every been
He sees not how we can cross the seas and climbs the mountains to show to the world
that we can indeed learn more of the lands and oceans that surround and lie beneath our feet
How we can look into the face of a stranger and find a friend, a lover and equal
Every day strangers sit together and find a friendship so strong nothing can break it
every hour of that day the words 'I love you' are uttered by people who never dreamed it possible
With you I know that you are not only my friend but someone who I love more than life itself
No one on this world can tell me otherwise...
There is no man nor woman who can tear these feelings from deep within me.
I want to live this life even through the darkest of days for I truly believe heart and soul
that I have found someone who understands both the strong woman and the little girl within
I have found a man who I can laugh with and talk to when I want to cry into the night
You are someone who completes me, you may not see why you do
for neither do I,
I don't claim to understand the strength of my emotions but I know they are real
I do not know why I am here upon this broken world
why through every torment to my body and soul I have survived and come stronger in time
but the one thing I know is there must be a reason not only did I overcome my life
there is a reason for you to be part of it...
and I will never question the why, the when and the how of your arrival in my life
why you are here to watch me smile and catch my tears when I cry.
I will never doubt that there is a reason why someone like you is the person who holds my heart.
Life has meaning to it whether it be dark and with misunderstanding and doubt
or the good fortune, hope and success at every turn.
I am only now truly blessed that my life has you there to take every turn with.
Be my friend, my lover... my companion on the twists and turns life has to offer is all I ask of you.
