The Keeper of My Heart

It's so hard to be without you

I can't get you out of my mind

I have flashes of moments together

No comfort can I find...

You know how I feel for you

It's something you can't deny

I sit here long both day and night

Just trying not to cry...

I vision you running away from me

My hands grasping at thin air

I see once vibrant, loving eyes

turned to a dark and distant stare...

Too many mistakes have I made

And too many times I've cried

and with you far away from me

something in me has died...

As I sit and think it amazes me

that though we are apart

I know I'll always love you

You, the keeper of my heart!

I truly want your happiness

That's why I'm letting go

Though selfishly I want you here with me

because I love you so...

I know you must be hurting too

I know you long to reach for me

But my gift to you my Darling

is that I set you free...

So you have your wings now baby

Spread them fast and fly away

Just know you take my heart with you

Forever And Always!
