3. You're always there

Early in the morning my thoughts turn to you
I look to you for strength to see me through
You are the prism refracting my light
Drawing out the colours from my ordinary white

You’re there always there by my side
You’re there always there my sunshine bride
You care really care for me inside…

You’re the one who sees me in all my wretchedness
But nothing that I am can make you love me less
Even when I’ve wronged you smile tenderly
I am not worthy to have you live with me

Yet it’s this very closeness I often despise
The times you’ve looked at me and I’ve turned away my eyes
You don’t understand why I need to be alone
But you wait until it’s over and welcome me back home

Patiently you’d sit and listen to this nonsense song
Smiling to yourself but you’d want to sing along
You have so much of me I’m scared that you might go
But you promised me a lifetime for why I’ll never know

…I’m mystified
