you're here
for Dawn

there are no words to tell the way i love you
when i though i had lost you i died
some part of me i didn’t know was there
you were everything to me
my whole world
and then you were gone and so was i
funny, you left to prevent me pain
but i wasn’t clear telling you how much i needed you

it’s like i’m watching the sky, clouds drifting by, the world
and you are next to me, watching with me
and nothing else matters
mostly because you are there

i don’t know why you and fate chose me
i don’t care why
i share with you things no other can understand
you have been there through my tears, my laughter
my creativity, my dreams
you are much the reason i can sing again
we failed each other but through that we grew
and now we know how much we need each other

it’s like i’m sitting on a bridge, alone, quiet
watching the water fly downstream like time
and you jump into the water and splash me
and i can’t do anything but laugh

i didn’t realize a lot about myself until you came along
and i guided you out of your shell
and taught you to laugh in the world
and not be afraid that they would hurt you as they had before
because i would protect you no matter what
and i romanticize our relationship
making it into a fairytale story
but to me, it’s a lot like that

and it’s like i’m sitting, waiting for something to happen
and i don’t realize it already has
but you point that out to me
and i realize i have no reason to feel wronged

because, after all, you’re here
