I was saved because of you
I felt numb for so long
Thought I’d never find enough
But you restarted my heart
Reminded me there was love
You showed me I could find more
That I was worth fighting for

So I fought for myself
Even though it felt like failure
For a long time
I was lost in the pain
I had convinced myself
I didn’t deserve to fully love again
But my feelings for you
Guided me through
Reminded me it could get better

So I kept going
Thoughts of you
Continued to pull me through
But I couldn’t tell you the truth
I couldn’t handle how
I wanted only you
I was afraid of the intensity
Of all I felt for you
Because I knew
If you didn’t feel it, too
I wouldn’t recover
So I told myself
You were a temporary lover
And kept you at a safe distance
Until you faded from my life

Now here we are
It’s been years since we’ve spoken
But it feels like just yesterday
When you brought me back
After I thought I was broken
I remember your words
I remember your touch
How it felt to lay beneath you
The desire still feels new

It is not lost on me
That I made myself believe
You were temporary
But what I feel for you has not faded
There is still a chunk of my heart
That will always long for you
And it will always belong to you
Even though we are destined to be apart
Because you saved me
Showed me I could find more
That I was worth fighting for
