You Brought Love's Truth, the Brightest Light To Me

Calum Scott, Leona Lewis - You Are The Reason (Duet Version)

*****************

You Brought Love's Truth, The Brightest Light To Me

You, you are the reason I became me
You brought the truth, the brightest light to me
You calmed the uproarious ocean
You stilled the turbulent emotion
Your tender heart gave its sweet loving glow
Your presence, your true love took me in tow 
Your soft touch, your lips gave me sweetest kiss
Your beauty, your grace I do now so miss.

You, you are the reason I became me.
You brought love's truth, the brightest light to me.

My love, my dear love, I cry here alone
My love, with my healed heart I have grown
My darling how your hope set me aright
My darling, your image sustains my night
My dear, I long for your angelic sight
My dear, you came vanquished this world's blight
My lover, your beautiful face I see
My lover, you were, are the best in me.

You, you are the reason I became me.
You brought love's truth, the brightest light to me.

Thank you, my friend. As hard as it is to compose about such a grievous loss. It brings me closer to a lessening of the epic pain and sorrow. A poet must write. Writing has a power to help heal. God bless.
