You & I

As I explore every nook & cranny of your mind
I take the time that you fail to realize
Is valueable to study the gaze of your eyes
The window to your soul, the place that binds
Us together in a knot ... Oh so tight
A strong steady bond that I can't fight
Or break or even try to untie
As I give up I carefully begin to examine why
Heaven gave you away or why there's a blue sky
Instead of red, the color of your heart, the place where I lie
The home of your feelings which cause you to feel pain and cry
In a way I don't want to see because I'd rather die
Than to see you hurt it causes my soul & heart to sigh
Which makes me dedicate my whole life to try
To give your being peace, the whole world I would buy
If I could but I can't so it's no surprise
That I'll just hold you and protect you in these arms of mine
Always and forever, 'til the end, together, You & I
