Because Of You

I don't know where I'd be without you by my side.

You are my inspiration and a constant source of pride.

I don't know why I fought so hard to keep you at a distance.

Since you've been around, everything has fallen into place.

You are such a blessing, I'm grateful to have you in my life.

It is because of you that I'm finally able to thrive.

I know I gave you a hard time,

I made you try and try and try. 

Nothing was ever good enough.

I had no sense of trust.

I saw the worst in everyone.

You knew that, but didn't run.

Instead, you marched head first

Into the disaster that has been us.

I hope you never regret a second,

Because I know that I never would.

You remind me every single day

In new and unique ways

That my love for you will never change,

I don't think I've ever felt this way.

You bring out a different feeling.

You leave my knees weak and my heart reeling.

Sometimes it's all to much for me.

But loving you is just so easy.

We're always nit-picky with each other,

Even when it doesn't really matter.

We play the blame game all the time,

Even if we both know we're out of line.

The difference between us then and now,

I've learned to calm down.

I can finally communicate like an adult.

I know, communication is so hot.
