This is my prayer

I would be lying 

If I never told you that you are 

One of the most tender souls

I have ever met

And I would be lying if I never said 

That I would care for you with all my love 

 

You showed me God 

Not in the way that you meant to

But I have found something to pray to

And I know the universe can listen 

Last night I prayed for you 

To be happy and healthy and well 

 

I would be lying 

If I said I didn't feel for you 

But it's not my fault

What is there to do

When you're leaving soon 

And your heart belongs to someone else 

 

Realism is knowing that I can never have you

Give you a hermit crab named Melvin 

And one named Blank Page 

They will give you the company you need

I will fold my laundry and clean

Provide an ear or a heart when you need 

 

And my prayer will come to you

For you to find a home and confidence 

To provide for you a shelter to place your valuables

And my God will show me what my path is 

Show me my body is my safe place and it's okay to share 

You will find somebody who you can sing your song to

And that love will be true
