From the darkness
Reaching into the hole
Your hand appeared
Touching my very soul

Dragged from the depths of despair
Stumbling once or twice
You wouldn’t let me fall
Holding me like a vice

Both wanting nothing
And expecting the same
Our connection flared
Immediately knowing it wasn’t a game

Deeper and deeper we fell
Though this hole was filled with light
Both terrified and so secure
With no bottom in sight

Giving my heart to you
And opening my soul
More naked than ever before
And somehow more whole

Desires and dreams explored
Finding out as we lay
For me you are perfect
In every way

Though my body’s wrecked
And my head’s a total mess
You haven’t ever failed
To give me your best

Thank you, my love
For all you have said
And everything you’ve done
With no hesitation coming to my bed

Our love I’ve not known stronger
As lovers we match that too
New heights of ecstasy
Always coming into view

I ask you now
Grow old along with me
With my broken body
I don’t know if the best is yet to be

This I do promise
That in all ways
In everything said and done
I will love you always
