As I sit here without you
My mind begins to wander
Aimlessly back and forth
It's everything I ponder
This emptiness I feel
My heart's cry inside
Depths beyond the surface
This how we coincide
A yearning for the truth
My heart crying for more
This love for you so real
Something I can't ignore
Unwavering strength
Is what you possess
Holding onto this love
Is which we attest
Often left standing alone
Hopelessness sinking in
Each day harder to express
Leaving us with chagrin
This moment of clarity
This moment of affirmation
Realizing in a single flash
The feeling of amelioration
Never standing alone
Knowing we are blessed
God is always with us
All those who are oppressed
The Lord's illumination
Overtakes our souls
Ridding us of our struggles
Our hearts he then consoles
Looking into the heavens
I thank God so much for you
He brought us the love
That we were overdue
It's for you that my heart beats
That I've become so strong
All the feelings that I have
It's for you they belong
The loneliness without you
Creeping up on me
So I turn to how I feel
When it's you I see
Your beautiful face
The way that we touch
The way that you touch me
The feeling such a rush
It's for this that I pray
For our unfailing strength
That we stand for each other
No matter the length
I love you sweetheart
It's you that I admire
It's this life with you
That I do aspire
No matter what you're feeling
Just know that I am there
Standing there beside you
It's this that I declare
