You always know,
The second before I break down,
To come right beside me
And hold me tight.

You always know,
The moment before I fall asleep,
To let me know that
You'll be there when I awake.

You always know,
The instant before I give up,
To come hold my hand
And tell me to keep going.

There are no words in
The world's dictionaries
And thesauruses that
Can describe you.

And I've always known
That the very second that you left,
My heart would have a you-shaped hole
That will never heal.
