He waited by the window
hoping and praying she would return
things were getting out of hand
life was getting in the way
his love for her never wavered
sometimes he forgot to tell her
he knew he should have bought her flowers
kissed her more
but life got in the way.
She stands before him
hair as black as the night
brown eyes tinged with tears
on her face is written defeat
she has no fight left
no more words to say.
He kneels before her and takes her hand
'look at me, don't turn away
I'm just a man, flesh and bone
I make mistakes, that is my undoing
but I do love you
always have, first time I saw you
I felt like I was floating on air
I can't buy you the things of the world
but my love is all I have
baby girl don't leave me
I'm nothing if you don't love me'.
She looks at him with tears falling
falls to her knees
and holds him to her heart
the man she has loved for a lifetime
the one that has her soul in his hand.
Two lovers cling long into the night
memories bind them together
love in their hearts
holding on till the Earth runs cold.
*when the love is strong you can weather any storm*
