Just want to protect you,
to hold close and take care of you.
stoke your face as you sleep,
look at your delicate lashes,
still damp from the tears you cried yourself to sleep with.
trace your lips with my finger,
so lightly, so not to wake you.
daren't fall asleep in case you wake from your safe place and need to know I'm here.
never worry i will leave you, or cry if i go, I'll never be away for long.
won't leave your side while your still afraid.
won't let the hurt and the pain get to you.
won't let it in, it won't get past.
will Lie here forever,
if you need me to,
because baby; i love you too!
