Thank You For Being You

I sit here and think about all that was said About my life in general and when we’ll be wed But confused thoughts still drift in and out They swirl and dance in my conscience and come in and out I think about what all that he’s told me Fantasize about building our own Christmas tree Raising our children in a family-filled environment About holding you in my arms and smelling your scent All the laughs we shared and the dreams we discussed And how your gone and my world’s left in nothing but dust I want to touch your skin and reassure you are there About feeling your fingertips running through my hair The best feeling alone is thinking of you And being fulfilled that our dreaming is true Lying beside you every night by your side Not rushing through life and just letting it glide On our days off you teaching me to work on a car But losing sanity slowly when I think about how you are so far You’re the other half of my brain when I can’t think I talk to you when I am about to completely sink I wonder sometimes if you feel the same I wonder sometimes if I’m the one to blame It hurts so much to know you’re not there Stuff comes to realize how life isn’t always fair Your gentle voice softens my beating heart But still I know right now we’re still apart Help me come to terms that right now I’m alone Help me to understand that I’m not just your drone Make me realize who you really are And help me understand that your not really that far Thank you for everything you’ve helped me realize Thank you for letting me win the biggest prize Thank you for being just you that I am proud of Thank you for not letting me slip in the mud Thank you for keeping my head held up so high Thank you for finally making me try I can’t wait until I am in the shelter of your arms Thank you for keeping me inside your dreamy charms Most of all thank you for all that you do And thank you for being so wonderfully true For that reason alone I will always keep you within my heart Basically, for the most part, keeping me smart
