Black Ink

Where would I be?
If there had never been a you and me
I would be on my own
The thought of you unknown

You were there on my darkest days
The sunshine through all of the haze
More the once in a while
You would give me that amazing smile

And with that mischievous spark in you eye
I thought I was going to die
When I felt I was going to drown
You’d keep me up, never let me down

Then I went and screwed things up
I was a jerk; I made a slip up
Now I need some time to think
And clear the page of this black ink

You say you are willing to stick around
Until all my thoughts can be found
Then maybe we can try once more
Maybe it will work better then before...
