My answered prayer

I cried tonight because I told myself that I am not going to leave you,
When each passing day,
My feelings surfaces stronger, saying that I have to,
When the wave crashed upon my face,
I got scared knowing that I'll no longer be in your embrace,
When my hands got numb from the cold,
Tears streak down my cheeks, knowing that I'll never have your hands to hold.

I would trade a thousand tomorrows for just one yesterday,
One yesterday when your arms were around me,
One yesterday when my life was right in front of me,
As my breathing got shallower,
I picture you in the future,
Where there was no more you and me,
And the thought of that took my last breath away.

Though, my love for you, will forever stay,
In the wind,
In the clouds,
In all that I have loved.

A part of me will always be with you,
And my love, that is my heart that I have entrusted you to,
If you're lost, just look up in the sky,
I'll always be there,
Watching over,

My little sailor, my life, my anchor, my answered prayer.
