Patiently Waiting

When you met this girl I was broken and lonely
I trusted no man, had no 'one and only'
You gave me attention, compassion, and laughter
The safety that I was so desperately after

The days turned to weeks
The weeks into years
We held onto eachother
Through all of the hardships and tears

With my broken trust and shattered dreams
I never feared you'd give up on me
Through love and compassion all finds repair
So I want you to know that I'll always be there

If the ship should sail rough
And the waves sweep us under
I won't let go and watch you drift under 

We've always won when on the same team
And you'll never understand just what your love means
In my heart you're my forever, my always, 'the one'
Even if we're apart my love won't be undone
God gave you to me to light up the way
And guard me from rain on the dark stormy days 

And if my memory is stolen from old age
And the days turn to darkness, the photos all fade 
The one thing that will always stay is my love
When my heart stops beating I'll love up from above

They always say actions speak louder than words 
But those people were probably heartbroken girls
And my heart no longer breaks it's just patiently waiting
Devoting my love and then proudly stating
I'm not angry or bitter, I'm completely transparent 
No need to go on because it's clear and apparent 
I won't be resentful you won't see me crying
Because I was already saved by a love that's undying
