My Soul Mate

Standing silently you watched me grieve
Understanding the pain I felt yet you chose not to leave
Worried about me as the days passed by
And held me close when I'd wake up in the night and would cry
You looked at me and wanted to take away the sorrow and pain
If you could, you would give up everything to see the laughter
 In my in my eyes again
Deeper and deeper I'd withdraw from reality
Yet you were always there waiting patiently
You became my rock to lean on
You showed me that I could, and had to be strong
You loved me enough to make me travel this path alone
For you are my soul mate and my heart song
