The One Thing

You are the person I’d want to be stranded at sea with no matter how deep the ocean or how high the waves get just to keep you from being washed away

You are the person I’d want to walk across the hottest desert in the middle of the day with just to be tested in the fire and keep you from the flames.

You are the person I’d weather any storm with no matter how strong the wind or heavy the rain just to shield you from the pain.

You are the person I’d share my last breath with if it meant that giving it to you was just so you’d know that for all these things I failed at, the one thing I got right was giving my life to you.

You are the person I’d share every sleepless night, share my dreams with just to chase your nightmares away

You are the person I’d share my biggest victories with not for glory or fame, just because without you the success would be in vain.

You are the person I’d share my highest of highs with to share the view from every mountain top that we climbed to just so we could see the things we’ve never seen for the first time together

You are the person I’d share my last breath with if it meant that giving it to you was just so you’d know that for all these things I failed at, the one thing I got right was giving my life to you.
