Don't ever let anyone tell you.

Don't let anyone ever tell you

Don't Let anyone ever tell you, I'm not here,
I have been here from the beginning;
I have dreamt for you and cried for you,
I have carried your burdens, tried to find a way:

Don't let anyone ever tell you, I have run from you,
I worry for you, and cut my days short for you:
My nights I long for you, my body cries for you:
I care when you suffer, I share your pain:

Don't let anyone ever tell you I have abandoned you,
It is not true, you are with me now:
My heart feels you here, I sense your presence,
I carry your spirit in my hands.

Don't let anyone tell you I don't love you,
No one soul has loved you more than I:
I want your happiness, it is more important than mine,
Loving you has made me whole again:

Don't let anyone ever tell you I don't need you,
You are my fire in the long cold winter:
How I wish I could always take your wounds upon myself,
Rather than see you suffer one day of your life:

Don't let anyone ever tell you I don't want you,
My mouth yearns for your lips:
I wish I could touch you now, show you how much my love,
Rather than spend one more day without you:

And don't let anyone ever tell you,
That my distance from you is a reason to mourn,
I carry your love within my heart, it beats with mine,
My thoughts will carry you with me, eternally
