(My Heart Can Never Do) Without You

Folder: 
Walk Me Home



I’ve got a problem - how lucky it is.

One day I stood on the edge of exile

And the next you showed me what’s his is his,

Enveloping my world with your sweet smile. 

The safety and comfort you provide me

Make you my steady and stalwart North Star.

You remain standing firmly beside me,

No inkling of how beautiful you are.

I once thought little of time spent alone -

How could I have realized what I’d soon learn?

For such foolishness I gladly atone,

Counting the minutes until your return.

There’s just one thing I forgot to think through -

Now my heart can never do without you.
