Yours to keep


Our shadows walk in the sunlight, side by side
A quiet moment of comfort,
In shade we slip into each others arms
And hold each other, to keep us safe

The soles of our shoes are torn and old
But our souls have shed their old goodbyes
Because now we’re home, wherever that is,
It’s home if it’s with you my dear.

I want to take you so far away
To places we dream of through books and maps,
We’ll adventure together and explore the world,
Write our names on Verona’s walls.

You’ll drive me home in the dead of night
And I’ll fall asleep in the passenger seat
Listening to all our favourite songs
I’ll hear you breathing their beautiful words

When oceans divide us, I’ll still be near,
We’ll lay on our blankets and watch the skies
and count the clouds and Heaven’s beams
We’ll see the same beauty and know it’s a sign.

I want to see everything again with you
When I saw things before, they didn’t mean a thing
But seeing them with you, I understand it perfectly
That this light is everywhere, the world is alive.

Our eyes and hearts are perfectly aligned
Like we were specially designed to one day be
Alone together, in every crowded room
Unaware of everything, but what we silently share.

We’ll wrap up warm on winter nights
And lay there entwined, smiling, laughing
Like we have a secret that no one else knows
For only we know how much this truly means.

If I could choose all over again
it's you my darling, every time
It's you and you know it,
I never thought I'd find you.

So tonight my love, I’ll keep you close
I’ll hold your little hand inside my own
And kiss your hair as you fall asleep
Just know that I love you and I’m yours to keep.
