The Other Half of My Sky

I'm not used to happiness It so often runs through my hands Inevitably it lets go So for all those rainbows I chased I realised you don't need all the colours Only one will love you so Happiness is not guaranteed forever It's moments of elation A perfect smile, a perfect day Wholehearted happiness is you And though I don't deserve them You bring so many of them my way I ask you can I feel secure? Lay upon this love And ask you to let me try To show you my love For you are and have come to be The other half of my sky...
