You have always been the only one
The sun to my shadows, the gun to my temple
The rush of blood to my fingertips
Every time the words fail me
I have always, will always, love you
There is nothing I wouldn't do for you
Even if it means sacrificing one dream
For another, letting go of a lover
For a friend, I wonder if my strength
Is all for this, for the will to stand
Beside you, and not ask a kiss
I turn from darkness long-standing
A life so quietly demanding
Of everything I am, I accept this
Peace, this release from expectation
And every word that escaped me
Every thought that made me
Who I am today, has it all been in waiting
Has every debate with my demons
Lead to this, the conquest over death
That I may save what's left
For you, your voice exhumes
My deepest desire, a fire that never
Ceased burning, I say goodbye
To ancient emotion, that I can give you
Precisely what you ask of me
A sacrifice I swore I'd never make
Because I believe in, just what love is
It is without limits, or selfishness
That I release my grip, that I let go of
My own long-held wish
To grant yours, without falling to the floor
Beneath the weight of my own end.
