One

At arms length I'll hold you
Forever and a day
Afraid that if I get to close
You will up and fly away.

Once I held you close to me
As close as two could be
Then one day the demons came
In the morning you took your leave.

If only you could have looked upon
The strength we two had found
The love we shared, the dreams we had
Instead of thrown across the ground.

Our relationship, you told me once
That should have never been
Is something that I cherish most
I will love you until the end.
