For you, I'd wait an eternity.

I sit by your bedside as the darkness fell,
Grab your hand from the flames of hell.
Every night I've done the same,
Even if many others may think it lame.

Every minute without you by my side,
My heart would pour out emotions I could not hide.
Every second that you're not with me,
My body would hurt so much others could see.

Whether you could or not feel me here,
I'm always here to fight off your fear.
For all of eternity, I promise you this,
I would give anything for just one kiss.

Ever since that day when you first told me,
That however unfortunate I may be,
You'll stand right here, through all and all,
WIth arms opened wide to catch my fall.

With determination, I've promised to do the same,
But I never knew how hard these problems came.
But you had faith in me and I did in you,
And a light always came and guide us through.

Maybe the Lord's trying to tear us apart,
When He gave you that bullet through your heart.
Or maybe the angels were jealous of our love,
And sent the speeding, life threatening dove.

One way or another, you fell in my arms.
I've held onto you, protecting you from more harm.
But then the doctor announced a surgery was vital,
Though her chances of success was unsubstantial.

With little hope and chance of success,
You carried a courageous heart and nothing less.
Before you stepped into surgery however,
You promised me her love for me would last forever.

I waited for hours with each minute like a day,
Wishing and praying I could help in some way.
When the doctor came out and looked at me,
Astonished by all the hurt and fear he could see.

Unstable was the way he described it,
To describe that you health is stuck in a pit.
That they've done everything and now it's up to you,
To make sure that you would hopefully pull through.

I slowly walked towards the large glass window,
When I saw you, in my heart I truly know.
That you wouldn't let go in my moment of despair,
That you'll keep your promise and always be there.

For three years now that you've slept,
Still that promise, I have kept.
I've been there for you ever since that day,
You came along and stole my heart away.

But I'll be here always and always,
Through every month and everyday.
For I know that you'll wake up and we'll be together,
We'll love each other with feelings so tender.

Until you wake up, I'll pray every night,
Knowing that this eternal faith is so, so right.
One day you'll catch up with a love so true.
So for eternity, I'll wait for you.
