I see you drowning,
I reach my hand out to you, 
Stretching myself to limits i didn't know exist, praying for that one more inch.
 Lifting ypur head, i see the sorrow n your  eyes, 
But still, you manage a smile, trying to disguise, 
Begging you to reach, making that last inch,
The  tears flow down my cheek.
 I see it flash across your face,
So i jump in, in desperate haste,
I wrap my love around you,  
Hopefully  warming the parts numb and cold.
 You beg me to let you be,
But i cant, 
You have to believe,
Without you, there is no me.
