I Am Here

You say it with such conviction.
You say the wind won’t carry you away,
that no other will tempt you with her smile,
no storm will ever pull you from my side.

Your arms, strong and sure,
promise to hold me through every trembling night.
When I break, when I fall,
you will catch me,
every time, every way.

No silence too deep, or distance too far,
no shadow too dark for your light to reach.

You say it like you mean it.
I am here.
I will stay.
I won't hurt you.

And I believe you.
