_{Taken from my arms too soon,
I watched you grow, I watched you bloom.
But when that time came.
I had to let you flap your wings.
Had to let you fly away.
So I dreamed you'd come back to me,
I knew in truth you wouldn't.
You had your own dreams to fulfill.
Dreams that didn't include me;

Now my dreams have changed,
I no longer see you in my arms.
No longer see that love in your eyes.
Why does time harden ones heart?
How can evil take over so quickly?
I feel numb to the world.
Without you,
Without us.
I'm lifeless, hard and cold.

As the sun sets over the mountains,
I see a glisten in the fading light.
There you are, standing with your arms stretched out.
Expecting me to run into your embrace.
Then I see that look.
The softness in your eyes,
The regret,
The pain.
Only then do I realize.
Your choices didn't only break me,
But it broke you also.

In the arms of love I now fall,
Blessed with these feelings inside.
I could have turned you away,
Could have held bitterness towards you.
But no,
With God's help;
I forgave you.
And at once, peace filled me.
Washing over me like living water.

I love you, and that's the truth.
And now I know, you love me too.
Forever and always!}
