I find it hard to leave you while you sleep,
But my love, I pray you my heart to keep.
It would be harder for me to go if you were awake,
Believe me, you I would never forsake.

It is tough to get through the day without you,
But I somehow manage to make it through.
I work at a grueling pace all day,
But when I see your face, my aches go away.

Your voice rinses away my pain,
It may be the only thing keeping me sane.
When it finally comes down to it, you are my soul –
The only one that can save me when life takes its toll.

When I leave you, I hope you don’t reside
On the memories you held inside.
I wish you to remember all the good things I’ve done,
Even after my battle has been won.
