For you

I created heaven for you--

with the last strength left in my bones,

and the last breath left in my lungs.

Complete with pearly gates that reach the stars,

I hand-crafted a golden key just for you--

a simple way into heaven, without having to stand outside,

waiting for your judgement, watching your life.

A simple way into heaven, without having to stand outside,

waiting for me, watching your life without me.

When you arrive,

I'll be waiting--

just please don't be too long.

I created heaven for us--

an escape from reality,

where the clouds dance

and our problems look like ants--

we are floating,

we are together,

we are happy.

My wings are strong enough for the both of us,

your halo will light the way:

it's time for us to finally escape.

I created heaven for you--

pure, radiant, warm;

it embodies all of the characteristics

I love about you.

My strength is gone,

my lungs have collapsed...

where are you?

I built it, 

why haven't you come?
