Where We Go From Here

I wear your dreams around my neck to keep my heart safe

Feeling something of you so close may be enough for today

Missing you is heavy and tends to weigh me down

Though when I think of you it is often not sad

And when I think of the one that held my heart up before you

It is often sad, for he is gone now, and I am left with but one

You, you are number one now, protect this dearly

For it is not so often I give some one of such low status the key

The door is wide open for you, so take a step closer

And if Buddy were to think I gave it on wrong conditions

I do not know what would be of me, his thoughts so sacred

His words were that of a god who had no name

And he was the ruler of my world with a crown of white hair

And it may be silly to compare such loves

But this is my world, now in need of a king

Be grateful that I have chosen you to bare such a burden

The bandages on my soul need often repairs

With you, the handy man, I believe I shall be alright

And I’m sure he still checks on me in the night

As if I was to leap out of bed and be gone or suddenly sick

You’ve been handed my sanity, the walls often fragile

If you could ever fathom what this means I’ll love you even more

This may be a lot to ask, but I’ll take care of you in return

I’ll be your protector, these words my sacred vow

On paper, in my heart, wherever you want them

I’m yours you know, and I mean it forever

Forgetting everything else all I want is you

I’ve claimed you mine with chains around your heart

You won’t get away from me, this I promise

And one day in white apparel, I’ll name you mine to the world

And there will be nothing that we can’t do together

Until then we have a long road to travel on

So long as you hold my hand, I’ll never let go
