It’s been 13 years, but my heart still bleeds for you,

And I’m not sure where my path is going to lead me to,

But one thing still remains clear,

Wherever I go you’ll always be near.

You still remain the anchor to my soul,

Guiding me when I’ve lost control.

I feel your presence all around,

Saving me before I hit the ground.

But I often wish I could bring you back,

For your encouragement when life gets off track.

And although I know you’re still with me,

I wish I could hug you the day I earn my degree.

I miss you more and more each day,

And even though you’re just a prayer away,

I wish I still had your smile, your words, and your raspy laughter,

That assured me I would someday find my happily ever after.

My heart belongs to you, and your anchor to me,

It was your love that taught me: I hold the key.
