Assurances

The worst day is never quite as bad
The best day always better
The valleys never near as deep
The mountains even higher
Its not optimistic fervor 
Or romanticized observation 
Its simply the effect you have on me
Every time you trust me more

Yes it's true you're beautiful
And sinfully sweet as well
But none of that holds a candle
To the way you lean on me without fail
I promised never to run away
But that seemed a slight cheat
If I'm honest
Because while you may think it's noble 
Its the easiest thing I've ever done

So you may worry that I'll run away
Anxious you'll over share
But the only thing that worries me
Is that you won't when you know I'm there
I don't help because I have to
Not even to fill a want
But the reason that I do it 
Is I can't imagine my life without
