After the Other

One year after the other
I have watched you grow,
hiding in the shadows
I have seen you glow,

One month after the other
I have seen you shine,
Laughing by your side
I've been claiming you as mine,

One week after the other
I have seen your soul,
seen the tears you shed
I've been there to make you whole,

One day after the other
I have seen you laugh,
I've promised to be there
am now your other half,

One hour after the other
I've seen you cry your tears,
Slowly, one after the other
I have killed your fears,

One minute after the other
I seem to love you more,
After all we've been through
Your still who I adore.
