Unconditional

Unconditional

Strange boy from the start
Still had all the love in your heart

Many faults
none of them yours
gave everything you had

Houses and things meant nothing to you
Love always surpassed the material

To see you from behind bars
Left me bearing permanent scars

You always made sure I was set up real nice
cars and money
always nice to my girls
The few you weren't I see now why

The love you had for me still makes me cry
I see your face in my thoughts
In my dreams
When you left I remember the hollow screams
Even now as time goes by
I still have the urge to cry

Through all my screw up
my costly mistakes
you stood by me
I'm not even sure why
It must simply be unconditional love

What I wouldn't give for one more day
an hour
a minute

You never chastised me
told me I'd fail
even when it was apparent i would

You followed me across the world
and I miss you more than anyone understands
I miss my little hand in your big hand
I miss being held in the chair
under your protective wing

I hope you know how deep my love runs
I don't want to be alone

To see you again my final goal
to feel your hugs
and loving embrace
your love could heal me
