Until the End

I wrote you a song, but it wasn't enough 
to keep you reassured, yet I tell you I love you. 
I'm constantly trying to ease all your fears, 
telling you not to worry while kissing your tears. 
I just wish you could see how much you mean to me. 
Even when you're not here, you're still all that I see. 
You are the reason I wake up each day 
even when it feels like hope is slipping away. 
I still wait for that smile on your beautiful face, 
as you climb in my bed and into my embrace, 
with your warm naked body pressed up against mine 
till we're lost in eachother, the world left behind. 
You're also the reason I want to stay sober, 
to watch the leaves turn through the days of October, 
to watch as your kids turn another year older, 
to keep you warm as the nights start to turn colder. 
If you could just feel how I feel when i'm with you 
your insecurity would no longer be an issue. 
I need you to know that I need you right now, 
that i'm lost without you, that I just don't know how 
to be strong without you cause you've helped me to see 
a small flickering flame of hope burning in me. 
You've opened my heart where I thought I had kept 
the door locked, though at first I just could not accept it. 
I'm falling so hard, I don't know what to do, 
I just keep falling deeper in love with you. 

Two in the morning, you're somewhere in bed, 
visions of you in my arms racing through my head. 
And it hurts to know I won't be there in the morning. 
I wish you were next to me..I miss your snoring. 
I miss your sweet kisses, I miss your soft touch; 
does this help you to see why I need you so much? 

I love you my dear, and I'll tell you again 
if you just keep believing, i'm yours till the end.
