Next to me
As I stared
 Into your blue eyes
 what-ifs and questions
 fill my mind
 and and these winding thoughts unwind
 and twisting words untwist
 while you stand me proud
 my heart dares to ask you this
 you're here now as I'm strong
 but what if I grow weak?
 If my body's shutting down,
 or my feeble mind grows meek?
 Although you see me now as tall,
 what will happen if I fall?
 or in other's eyes grow small?
 Will you be here through it all?
 or will you run far north from here?
 out of spite and shameful fear.
 Will you remember the pain?
 Will you forget the smiles?
 As you run across, 
 those endless miles.
 would you find a bright new shining face?
 to join you in your loves race.
 Would you leave me in the dark?
 left to slowly fall apart
 to spend the remainder of my days.
 Thinking back on all the ways
 How your sweet smile
 made me smile
 your kisses made me swoon
 wondering what I did
 to  leave our love in ruins.
 So before we take this leap 
 to begin our inevitable fall
 Answer me one question
 will you be there when I fall?
