when the rain is falling
and the night is heavy
and the blankets arent enough to keep you warm
ill pull you closer
and hug you tighter and
whisper words to remind you
I am forever yours

when youre sick with fever
or sick with sadness
or disappointment flourishes your veins
i will treat you
be so sweet to you
and kiss away your pain

when your hunger
and lust for life
washes down the drain
i’ll run a bath and fill it up
and soak with you
in all that you have lost
and fill you up again

when your eyes are drifting
sailing and shifting
and youre thinking somewhere else
I’ll find a plane
and by the tickets
and we’ll fly out with no return

when you think im fading
and your pencil has erased me
and your trying to ‘do this well’
Ill pull you in and kiss your cheek
and remind you darling
I am yours to keep.
