These Times

Until the dawn breaks

and the waves crash again the sand

is when I'll hold my breath when

it comes to saying I do.

It'll be another day to sing

about the magic that will be

you and me. I feel like I've

been locked up tight in a

place where sunshine only

visits when all is wrong. But

in your words, my darkness

breaks apart, showing me the

way into your arms. Your words

hit me like gravity pulling away,

bringing me into the right state of

mind, powerful and beautiful.

We've been in the same positions,

holding each other to the core, knowing

that this four letter word can

tear apart the strongest of people.

Let me fall into your world and have

time stop just for a minute. Let me

be the one, loving you when you're

weak. Slowing it down, holding still.

Take a step forward, I'll make sure you

don't step backwards. Hearts are

hard to mend, but I'll let time do

the dirty work. I'll be the one to keep

it in working condition. For as long

as you need, you'll find a friend

in me. I'm telling you these times

are hard but I promise they will pass.
