My One True Love

Here I am laying in bed far away,
And all I can do is try to sleep,
While missing you.

It's always been us two,
And everything we have been through,
Oh God, am I homesick for you...

I made a few choices very long time ago,
And I tried so hard to let you go.

But there you were,
Etched like a stone in my heart,
       -with your name on it.

I hated being apart.
I always struggled to tell you how sorry I am.,
And no matter what the future holds,
By your side, I will stand.

I will always lend a charitable hand,
Because Nicholas, you are the man,
       -for me.

I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.
Have always seen you,
Will continue to see you as you really are.

Only you knew that pain of losing me.
I can't even think about it without crying,
May you always know it's always been you,
Sincere truth and no complicated lying.

My high school sweetheart,
You'll always be my number one,
All the laughter and bickering,
We will never be done.

Our future has brought us,
To a special place of knowledge,
All the countless times you saved me, 
From jumping off the crooked ledge.

I know how deeply you appreciate me,
Love me so right and free.

We've seen the worst in each other,
But the good wins every time.
For I am your sensitive companion,
And you undoubtedly will always be mine.
