Always

I say you are too close
yet look how far away
you're who I love the most
(love's never here to stay)

sometimes I wish you'd give up
and leave me be, with less
keep my heart all boarded up
keep myself free of mess

but then I hear the sound
of your I love you's and pledges
your words seem so profound
overweighing my little distresses

these words I write come from my heart
and I do vow to you they're true
I hope the day never comes that we must part
because I swear I'll always love you
