Support

Support comes in many shapes and sizes
For some it’s always being there
Always on the ready, cheering them on

For us, at times, it means standing apart
It’s strange to think about, when I truly do.
Spent our whole lives together
Joined not at the hip but the soul with you

You were my one and only
My ride or die
The light of my world and my reason to fight

Though I grew tired of fighting I never grew tired of you
I promise, dear.
I swear it’s true…

When I stretched my wings and started to fly
You stood on the ground, looking up high
A smile on your face
An ache in your soul
“Is there still room for me among your lofty goals?”

Your patience means mountains
Your love never spurned
Sometimes I say something stupid
Maybe someday I’ll learn

I think I’m so hung up
On those hurtful words
Because when I said them you smiled,
“Fly free, little bird…”

You’ve been so supportive
So loving and kind
Always have my back, no matter the time.

There will always be a place for you in my life
Always be time for you, come happiness or strife
You may not be my one and only
But you’re still my ride or die
Joined not at the hip but our souls all our life

I’m sorry I was stupid
I didn’t mean to make you want to cry
I love you, dummy
Always have
Always will

So call on me, no matter the reason or time
And I promise I’ll flutter back to your side.
