Between Fear and Hope
where my heart longs to be
the distance feels so far from me
I don't know what exactly it is, that I fear
when there's nothing left to keep me here
hard decisions keep me awake at night
always feeling this pull towards a brighter light
you found a way to open the door to my heart
where I found you did belong from the start
with each day, I can feel you slipping away
tears at me, in a thousand different ways
where my heart longs to be
is with your spirit that keeps me free
never will the light slip away
with my spirit you'll always stay
have no fear, as I have none
concealed thoughts for what's to come
from the other side, I'll connect with you
for never have I touched a heart so true
a sign I promise, your fear to break
angel in your pocket - rainbow at daybreak
as we make the most of what we have now
in my afterlife we'll be closer somehow
and happy my soul will always be
to have found a friend who cares for me
