John Legend - Refuge

i pray for better days to come,
i pray that i could see the sun,
but life can be so burdensome when, every days a rainy one…
but suddenly theres no more clouds, and i believe without a doubt…
that heaven sent an angel down, and she turned my life around…

you know that i know,
friends come and friends go,
storms rise and winds blow,
but one thing i know for sure…

when its cold outside…
theres no need to worry ‘coz i’m so warm inside…
you give me peace when the storms outside,
‘coz we’re in love i know, it’ll be alright…
alright, it’s alright…

thank you for being my angel. you’ve taught me so much and loved me with all of your heart. i’ve learned a lot a long the way. even though it hurts tremendously not to be with each other officially, you can rest easy knowing that our time spent together means the world to me. i missed having you to share my feelings, hear about your day and just enjoy each other’s company in only that special way you and i can. i’m so thankful to have that back. while i can’t say i enjoy fading into the background, it makes my heart smile knowing that i’m once again contributing, even in the least bit, to your happiness. if i have to live alone, knowing that i gave you a glimpse of what true love is - that your happiness mattered to me more than my own, then i’ll have succeeded. i hope it doesn’t come to that, because for our (and my) sake i would sure love another shot. a fair shot where we aren’t separated by distance, but only by the disparity in our efforts to make this relationship last. but like she even told me, “stop pushing me away.” so i won’t. i’ll hold you close, be there when you need me, say the right things, and be the best man i can be for you and for you only. hopefully, i can show you that in spite of the chaos and drama around us, the one most important thing still remains: i love you with all my heart, and when its just you and i, nothing else matters.
