Two Halves

There's this man that I love, though I'll never admit aloud
He's my inspirational push, keeping me above the crowd
A phantom of a past that I keep tugging along
When he's making me smile it's hard to think he's wrong
He might be harsh and sometimes seem unfair
But I know his heart and I know he cares
He just wants to protect that which he loves
To help keep a smile that he thinks the world of
He's my shield, though I tried to be his
And I've never been quite sure what this is
It's all rather confusing, but certain things remain
Through fights and laughter and heart filled pain
He's never walked away to leave me on my own
He promised to stay even if he was trying alone
Taking the backlash of anger that others made
And all to keep a woman he says he wouldn't trade
He doesn't say much in words or otherwise
His silence is a shroud much better then lies
And when he's pulling away, it's breaking me down
I don't want the distance our feelings bring around
I need my other half to keep me whole
To keep me up and bring back what others stole
But two halves can't hear when each is trying to speak
And trying to stay strong doesn't keep us from being weak
Even bound, heart or soul, we're still our own
And despisingly adore each other for that which is ours alone
But apart or near he's my best friend

I'll never let him go, he's mine until the end
