Because You Were There

Because you were there I am still here You kept me alive You gave me a reason to live Because you were there I was brave Strongly we stood Hand in hand Facing disasters Because you were there I felt loved This feeling never felt I craved it Because you were there I could dream Dream forever I would And each one would be of you I would never wake Because you were there I was whole The gaps were filled I had purpose now Because you were there Never did I worry Why would I I had you I had everything Because you were there I could smile Widely Brightly With no one stopping me No one wiping it from my face You kept me smiling Because you were there You wiped the tears I cried Said it would be okay Held me tight I could remember why I was ever crying When I had you Because you were there I had hope I believed in myself I knew I could make it I knew we were meant for better bigger things than this I was willing to find that meaning With you I was finally happy And it was because you were there But then.. My sun My warmth Protection And comfort It burned out Empty and alone I cried out your name There was no answer Only the ringing of goodbyes strong in my ears I felt weak I felt useless I felt dead My dreams turned into nightmares The ones you can’t awake from The one thing that kept me living Is now what’s killing me You are no longer here for me And that’s because I was never there for you.
