How Can This Be?

Lately, people have been
Asking about our relationship
How you work in my life
And what you bring to it

As hard as I try
I can’t put it into words
It’s a mystery to me
How you care the way you do

You’re as captivating as the wind
I grab hold of you as I do the wind
There’s nothing to touch
Yet you are life itself

I cannot see you yet
But I can see your effects
I can feel your presence
I can breathe in your essence

I can’t remember when this all started
I don’t understand how it all works
I just know that you have always
Listened to my soul and guided my steps

I never know how it’s done
I never know where I’m going
I just know that you’re leading me
In a direction that I could never take myself

My greatest nightmare is
You’ll get weary of leading
Your light will dim and disappear
Leaving me lost and full of fear

I never want to feel that alone
So promise me that you’ll always BE
You’ll always keep close to my heart
And never let us grow apart
