At least I have you
This is a letter to the girl I was before
Things could be better if I was with you
I used to dream of you next to me
But you were hiding from me.
__________
The next thing I know it’s after the war
And you’re next to me
After the end
Together we stand
Under the stars.
__________
The quiet is loud, but I hear your heart
No more battles to tear us apart
Your hand in mine, we finally breathe
In peace we remain
In love we believe
A forever found in the dark turned light.
__________
We walk through the fields were silence grows
The echoes fade of distant throes
Your eyes still shine with battles past
But now we’ve found a peace to last.
__________
The fire is out, the night is warm
No need to run, no need to warn
Your arms are home, your soul is near
In all this quiet, you are clear.
__________
And the world can spin, but we won’t fall
After the storm we’ve braved it all
With broken hearts, we still survive
Together, love has kept us alive
A forever found in the dark turned light.
__________
The scars we bear, the tears we cried
Now bloom as strength we hold with pride
I feel your breath, I hear your soul
In this soft dawn we’re finally whole.
__________
The ashes settled on the ground
But still our hearts, they make a sound
A rythm slow, a lullaby
That sings of us beneath the sky.
__________
And the world can spin, but we won’t fall
After the storm we’ve braved it all
With broken hearts, we still survive
Together love has kept us alive
A forever found in the dark turned light.
__________
No more goodbyes, no final fights
Just whispered dreams in peaceful nights
I’ll hold your through morning’s glow
And never again let you go.
__________
Let time move on, let ages pass
This love was built to everlast
In every breath, in every sigh
You and I, just you and I.
__________
And the world can spin, but we won’t fall
After the storm we’ve braved it all
With broken hearts, we still survive
Together love has kept us alive
A forever found in the dark turned light.

The war is done and you’re still here
In every silence, I feel you near
Together we stand, hearts side by side
In pece we remain, in love we confide.
A forever found in the dark turned light.

The next thing I know it’s after the war
And you’re next to me
Hand in my hand, together we stand
Under the stars.
At least I have you.
Ειρήνη Θέμου
