Because of You

you made me who i am today
sometimes i cant find the words to say
or even utter a thank you

and even though you may not know it
i know sometimes i may not show it
i owe a lot to you

you taught me confidence and love
for my inner and outer self
you told me i was handsome

you showed me i had more to offer the world
then what i could even imagine
you broadened my horizons

you opened my eyes to a new me
an told me how love my self
just for who i was and no one else

you said i didn't have to pretend
that i was good enough and not just that
but great enough

you made me hold my high
and search for those brighter days
you said i deserved them

and when my heart was shattered into a million pieces
you were always there to put it back together

you listened to me
you felt every tear i cried
and you identified

you were holding my hand 
whenever i felt lost and alone
you never abandon me

you made me laugh
when all i felt like doing was crying
you made my heart smile

you brought the best out of me by just being there
and for that i thank you
for that i love you
