True Love

I feel the pain of your suffering

and I wish I could shoulder it   

I want to be the road

for you to walk upon

the bridge for you to cross 


I want to be the flame

that lights your way

the shelter where you can hide

in the storm 


You are my reason to exist 

but if you choose to leave me

I will hold back my tears

despite the pain

as I watch you go


But I hope with all my heart

that someday you will see 

how much I love you

and return
