'I'm afraid to be weak and yet he is dying and all he can show is courage; why can't i be you? '
i never knew this man until my sixteenth birthday.
finally after all my life i find him and love him more than i could another besides his mother.
she was a woman like no other i could see the world in her heart.
he is a man i can hold when i feel all fear buried deep.
his words are strong and his tears like mine.
honestly i am afraid to be weak and that i can not protect them all.
his life on a thread and yet he runs with me and tells me what
he knows i should hear but can't.
i fear to wake one day and see him not standing there.
i fear not waking to see him or them.
i fear i may drown and never breathe again
but
through his fear he can still be free
while i let my tears blur my life and run away.
i wish i could go instead of him.
i love you more than anything and all i can say is that no matter what i fight to the death to be with you always.
love leigh ♥
