“EVERYTHING” by Shee

And maybe everything I have 

I don’t quite deserve 

Like the smile upon your face 

That is imprinted in my mind

Like the Sun that sets

And is brave enough to rise again 

The rain as it falls 

And washes away my woes

But, I can assure you 

That anything I have ever loved 

Has been well cared for and protected 

And, I will use each breath I have left 

To make myself worthy of you

Worthy for you

For you 

My everything
