As Long As I Still Have You Near Poem by Liam Hughes

My ears are now able to hear.
No longer held back by what I fear.
The truth now feels so sincere.
As long as I still have you near.

My eyes are no longer blind.
The answers I'm able to find.
My thoughts no longer behind.
As long as you are on my mind.

The world may be upon my shoulder.
The nights may begin to grow colder.
My actions will begin to grow bolder.
As long as I'm able to hold her.

I may be held back, in my stride.
I may be taken along for a ride.
I will feel no damage to my pride.
As long as you are by my side.
