And For You

And for you I will smile despite the pain
Because it's the only way to win
The only way to show you
That I am not what I once was.

And for you I will bear it despite the pain
Because I know that you're worth it
You're worth so very much
That I can't even fathom it.

And for you I will listen despite the pain
Because I want to know all about you
All about this new you
That I have never seen before.

And for you I will love despite the pain
Because I can't stop these feelings
These feelings that embrace
That I don't have room to breathe.

And for you I will suffer despite the pain
Because I want you to come back
Back to this beating heart
That seems to pound to a rhythm that mourns the loss

Of you.

You.

Only you.
