Meant To Be

resting in bed with my lover  
she snuggles up against me
speaking with a small voice
 
“don’t ever leave me”
 
so I say
 
“I thought I told you before
now listen close
 
you are the love of my life
my only reason for being
the boat that sails me to safety
when I’m lost at sea”

 
as the night continues on
she places her head  
in the pit of my chest
asking me through a yawn
 
“what of those who try to harm?”
 
so I reply
 
“I thought I told you before
now listen close
 
I’ll always be your superman  
no matter how far you are
call my name, and I’ll be there
standing tall  
with the strength of ten men”

 
her words start to muffle
as she begins to drift off  
asking me one last thing
before entering dream land  
 
“what if one of us leaves this world?”
 
believing my words
weren’t even heard
still I say
 
“I thought I told you before
now listen close
 
you're the voice that speaks
when no one else is there
that will always stay true
until we meet in the great beyond
because somethings  
they are just meant to be”
