Still Here

You're my inspiration, my muse, my heart,
My desire on fire,
My anger, my pain,
But through it all you still remain.

Good or bad,
Glad or sad,
Smiling through tears,
Passing the years.

And as days come and go,
Nights passing slow,
My heart still gives.
I can't say "No".

So far, so near,
Soon our day will be here.
And as the sun rises and sets,
The closer it gets.

Ready and waiting,
Still wanting, still laughing,
Still loving,
Still here.
