my heart holds you
just one beat away
the tears in my soul
fall quietly every day
did this really happen
or are you just away?
will you walk through my door?
will you call me one day?
your pain was so intense
we shared more than most
the privilege of your love and trust
came at such an unbearable cost
stay close, watch over me
from so many stars apart
roses in the ocean…
you forever in my heart
my thoughts as I wake
through the day and when I sleep
are of you, my magnificent brother
for who my love runs deep
if there is one thing I could change
it would be that fateful time
I would be there for you, as always
holding on to you for life
somehow, some way
I wish with all my might
you find a way to tell me
you forgive, that you’re alright
stay close, watch over me
from so many stars apart
roses in the ocean…
you forever in my heart
Love from Brony November 2009
