My Gem

I held a gem in my hand there, it felt safe, and secure
but as i held it, i felt it tremble in my finger tips
i placed my gem in a spot closest to my heart
where it stayed safe, warm and loved, and i carried it there

Until one day i stumbled, just for a moment.
i felt my gem falling out of reach
there was nothing i could do to hold onto ot
My gem went tumbling down onto the ground. unseen

I've searched for hours, even days without a trace, or news
to think that not long ago i had my gem with me
i held something so presious and dear in my hands
i can't imagine never being able to hold my gem again

To You, My Gem, i know that i'll see your face again
you see, you fit perfectly, in my hand and in my heart
i will never shine the way that you shine. but i'll try
i promise to you my love, i will become a better version of me.
