With you

My eyes are open wide,
My soul merged with your essence,
Ready to endure anything that you throw at me,
To stay by your side through it all,

Both been through so much agony,
Hearts split,
Cries of pain,
Dreams of shame,

You know what I've been through,
For you've been there too,
I remember all of the anguish so well,
All of the tears I've cried,

The screams in the middle of the night used to shatter my soul,
And the barriers around my heart like barbed wire,
They protected me from heartache,
But from love as well,

Then you came along,
And smashed the walls to the ground,
They tumbled down without me even putting up a fight,
Making my heart so ready to let you in,

I broke your heart once,
And will never forgive myself,
Because I done what I swore to never do,
Hurting myself as well,

I was ready to fight to get you back
But you forgave me instantly because you loved me as well,
I swear to you on all of my hearts desires,
I will never do that again,

Losing you opened my eyes,
See what it was worth fighting for,
Realize what I wanted in my life,
And now I know where my happiness lies...

With you.
