Today I was reminded what life is about – service, love and little big things – and I’m truly grateful
How can someone stand so damn close
‘N’ feel like they’re world away?
I can see your sad story eyes
So how do you have no words to say?

Why won’t you let me?
I can handle your heart, so help me
Here you are, next to me
