From the heavens above, I am looking for you. In the depths of my soul, I will live and breathe for you. Sadness dwells inside you; You have nothing to fear, for I am next to you. I can feel your sadness; Let me be sad for you, so you will feel love once again. Worry not about life, let me worry for you. You should always love life, for it is a part of you. I’ll be there when you fall, to catch you and say I Love You … Happy, caring, and loving.
