Always

When dark depths were never-ending

And deep night

Was the only repeating promise

When it mattered most

You came close

And whispered

‘Here.’

At the point of endless dancing

When bright hope arose

And sunshine laughed at the flow of time

When it mattered most

You came close

And whispered

‘Staying.’

As day by day

Led the procession of mundane

And doubts arose to the point

When it mattered most

You came close

And whispered

‘Forever.’

When the tables turned

And a road led you away

As you fell into the hurt

When it mattered most

I came close

And whispered

‘Always.’
