Eternal Vow, Friends Forever

It's been awhile since I written
Nothing has changed since then
Then again something is hidden
So, let's try this once more, again

Are you willing to hear this plea?
Are you willing to listen, and see?
Well, I guess there is no guarantee
I hope these words set me free

Do you know what happened to me?
Something hidden has changed me
Tearing at my inner being I can't flee
It's a secret? I wish you could see

Day after day I die a thousand deaths
Struggling to just catch my breath
Yes! Each time as if completely new
And again, I just wish that you knew

For you are like a beautiful flower
In a field of emptiness and nothing
Nothing compares to your power
Yes! This is worth discussing

Let's talk about the power of your smile
I miss it because it's been awhile
Awhile since I've seen the sunrise
Depicted by the light in your eyes

Darkness now has overtaken you
I am hurting now for you too
Once upon a time I didn't care
But I never felt like it before.  To be fair

I don't know what is going on
An unknown path I've come upon
Yes.  This is someone else's to bear
But it is a burden I wish to share

To pick you up when you are down
To build you up so you don't frown
Something I always wanted to be
An encouragement to you in need

It's been awhile since I have written
But nothing has changed since then
I loved you then and I love you now
Secret no more, this is my vow
