Drifting Away

We’ve watched each other grow,

 learning as time continued to pass.

From adolescents,

 to adults we were forced to grow strong; 

where only you and I could thrive. 

We empowered one another, 

 no longer individuals, we became one. 

  The clouds rained in rejoicement of our love,

 the sun arose just for us, as seasons came and went deeper our love became. 

We made life together; the world was ours to claim.

 When we kissed the grass grew, when we cried the trees would shake, when we made love we caused earthquakes. 

I see you drifting away; 

our ungodly hour is taking its claim, please just stay. 

Don’t break away from our safe place; don’t say those things I can’t bear this pain. 

Your eyes tell me you wanna go, but your heart isn’t only yours. 

Your heart was already claimed by our love.

 Stay strong my love, soon the pain will pass and the world will belong to us. Our child needs a family, and Im numb without you. 

As the years pass the farther you slipped away, words unspoken. Our air is thin, our faith deprived, I’m no longer living inside. 

Our love became me; there is no home without you. 

Vivid pictures of your laugh 

and the sun kissing your cheeks keeps me holding on. 

But those images are losing color,our past fading away. 

  I want to feel your kiss under the warmth of the sun.

 Please my love let the anger go, don’t squander our love. 

I will plead with you until the day is done. But if you’re ready to walk away I won’t beg you to stay.

If my love isnt enough I cant make you love me. If your no longer at home with me then I will lay down my sorrow and bury it away.

For my love I will live in pain, 
to only see you happy again.
