You don\'t want anything from me
You give way more than you take
Always the first to extend a helping hand
You never complain
Not when life is hard, or people die
You\'ll say it\'s all in God\'s plan
To a nonbeliever, this seems impossible
But at the same time,
Makes me want to believe
You already have my heart
You keep it carefully tucked away from view
And no one understands
Why it didn\'t work out between us
Sometimes there is just too many miles
That I love you\'s on the phone can\'t cover
But I always know someday I will come home to you.
My trajectory has other plans for now
So I will hold our conversations close
Instead of holding you
It\'s our conversations that get me through bad days
And thoughts of the next time I will see you
Since I have nothing else to give
At least I can offer you a little sustenance
To make up for leaving you
I hope that something in your belly
Can maybe soothe an empty home and heart
At least for now
Until I can come home to you.
