The Reason

You are the only reason
For turning this car right around,
To see you standing in the headlights,
With the tears staining my face.
The only reason I'd want to stay
In a place I hardly stand to endure.

Now, don't think it's a bad thing
That you are the reason that I cannot
Fall asleep in the dark of the night.
I'm only haunted by the feel of your body
Cocooning around mine in your warming way.
Even now when the sun is out smiling,
I can close my eyes and pretending I'm sleeping.
And there I can hear you snoring,
There I can feel your lips touch my temple.
Feel the whispers of I love you,
Before we'd fall into our dreams.

As sad as it may seem,
You are the reason I clutch my phone so tightly.
Eagerly waiting to hear anything from you.
Let it be a simple message of: hello
Or drunken phone calls at three in the morning.
I don't care either one will do.
I can't bear to erase the pictures of you and me.
Because I am afraid that if I do,
I'll forget the memories of you,
I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to imagine your face.

And you are the reason.
The only reason at all.
That would cause me to wait for you.
However long it takes,
I don't care.
I'd wait a century just to hold you again.
I'd wait millennia just to see you again.
I'd give anything just to see you smile again.
I've already waited three months for you.
That isn't anything compared to the waiting
I'm willing to do for you now.
Because that is what you do.
When you meet your true love,
When you meet your best friend,
When you meet the best part of you.
You find all the reasons you can,
Just to have anything of them.
