Essence

You are the essence of my soul My heart, my purest reason Watching you as you sleep An image of serenity Peaceful, innocent and pure Placed under my guard You are the essence of my soul My heart, my purest reason As I stand here by your door I will pledge forevermore Eternally we are bound together Photographs will fade Memories slip away We only have the here and now So stay in my embrace There is one thing you should know I'm neither hero, saint or foe Just a man with his mistakes Who hopes he didn't cause too much pain You are the essence of my soul My heart, my purest reason May all your dreams come true May my mistakes only be few May your skies be ever bright May you find strength in your plights May all your dreams come true Photographs will fade Memories slip away We only have the here and now
