The Journey

For so long I held my heart so securely in place

Away from the world, in this cold, dark, lonely space
Then you came into my life, and I didn't know what to do
What my heart had so longingly missed, I now found in you
Letting you in my life was something I wasn't sure about
ut the more time we spent together I was left without a doubt
!nowing that with each passing day, your lo"e to me meant more
It #lled a place inside my heart that had known only emptiness before
I didn't see how painful it must ha"e been for you to lo"e me, unconditionally
When I demanded so much of you, this perfect person you tried so hard to be
$"en though it wasn't purposeful I know it hurt your heart to belie"e
That %ust one mistake, and I wouldn't hesitate to lea"e
&ow could you ha"e known nothing was e"er farther from being true
'our smile, the warmth of your heart, I could ne"er bid adieu
As you held my heart you touched a part of my soul, and there your
#ngerprints still rest
'our whispers softly echo, with hopes of hearing them I (uiet my "ery breath
Although where we're headed now is something yet unknown,
A part of me has left, and ne"er again will I alone, my heart own
And how fortunate I must be, that at this %ourney's end
It has been, still is, and always will be, you I call best friend
