Just for you

Wandering for so long, time has been lost
All the paths I've wandered, the roads I've crossed
Journeys ended and new ones began
All lead me to someone who ran

The walls that I built, toiled and sweated
Destroyed by you, no choices regretted
I don't deny my heart is only yours
For my ailments, only you hold the cure

I don't cry tears of sadness for time we shared
You showed me love, loyalty, that you cared
You breathed into me life so long denied
It's joy in those tears that I cried

It now comes down to eternal time
Walk the path, stay the line
Hold the faith, keep it close
That which matters most

 Time ticking softly in my ear
So it's only me that may hear
The whispers of promise it holds
Keeping back the bitter cold

Stay as you are the words say
Just as you were the first day
To you I can be nothing but true
If you'll wait, I'll wait too

So standing here in time I wait
By this lonely finishing gate
Eyes cast to the distant line
Waiting for the passing of time

My heart it longs for yours alone
Never seeking freedom to roam
The time it awaits shall it come
Is for two to finally be one

Journey

Through day and night you ride along
the roads of life from here to nowhere
Fighting endless battles internal
trying to find the way to the place 
that you want to call home

Wandering for so long
you don't know how to stop
Afraid to find what might be there
if finally you let yourself take a break
Always moving forward, never looking back
Giving yourself grief and never slack

You aren't alone, in this journey you take
but you asked to be let go
So I stood aside to watch you ride
further away from me
Though deep inside I break
I want to run after you
To call your name, to make you hear

Tears in the dark that you'll never see
Your name from my lips as I dream
Things I want to say but keep inside
Allowing you time to make your choice
I smile and say everything's fine
Because I don't want you to know the truth

I don't want to change your mind
Don't want to change your path
Standing here is where I'll wait
I'm scared inside, afraid to know
Will time take you away
or will the road bring you back?

I whisper to you at night, to tell you
I love you, I'll wait
I may not understand but I respect
You do what you must 
To become who you want to be

Not matter the choice you make
You'll always have with you
My love, my soul, my heart
