A/N: One of my reviewers told me I should do something slightly more uplifting. I tried, I hope this at least a bit happy.

We were 12 and you told me that you liked me

We held hands in sun on the playground

We were 13 and you met her and left me

Saying that she was just prettier than me

We were 14 and you changed your mind

She left and you tried to find me again

We were 15 and you asked if I could forgive you

I said we're too young to be this broken

We were 16 and you got your license

And we drove around for hours laughing about our days together

We were 17 and you said that it was time to choose

I said I loved you but we were leaving soon

We were 21 and drinking the night away together in some pub

And your hand found mine, your lips so warm and soft

We were 24 and waking up in your bed

Our clothes were strewn around the room

We were 26 and I said I can't handle your inconsistencies

And I walked away when I felt your hand grab mine

"Don't go"

I won't, I just wanted to see if you loved me enough to stop me

You do, and you will, and you are the love that flows through my veins

Everything I need

Despite all we've put each other through, you were always there

Though sometimes I couldn't see you

The pain was worth it?

The hurt, the scars, the fiery tears

And you're still here

And you're still here

I have nothing left to fear

Because you love me and you're still here...
