I?ve racked my brain
I?ve thought of everything that I could possibly think of.
I wanted to give you the perfect gift...
But nothing quite measured up.
So I decided on something that couldn?t be delivered or bought...
Something I knew would stay with you, and wouldn't easily be forgot.
I decided to write you a poem,
To let you know just what you?ve done for me,
To tell you how very special you are...
And what you will always mean to me.
You were always around and I never gave it much thought,
Until one day you looked different, and my eye was suddenly caught.
We talked more and more, each other's problems we solved,
We both knew that our friendship had evolved.
I?ll always remember your weakness, for a moment you let me see,
I remember the happiness it brought,
Knowing that you just wanted me.
You listened to my problems, you listened to my dreams.
We talked about life and love...you?d been there too, it seemed.
I never once felt judged by you,
It seemed you knew just how I felt.
You just accepted me, and all the problems I?d been dealt.
You didn?t interrupt me when I didn?t quite know what to say,
You just listened very patiently and didn?t go away.
You opened up my heart, even though I was so scared,
There was just something about you, and I couldn?t help but care.
You?ve made me feel things that I never again wanted to feel,
But there is a place deep down inside of me
That you have magically healed.
A place you have touched so sweetly
A place no one else has been,
A place where you have opened up all the windows
And let the sunshine in again.
You have made me feel again, little by little, bit by bit,
You are the one who gave me back my heart,
But will always keep a piece of it.
There is just one more thing I have to say
Before my poem is through...
And that is, thank you, so much,
For just simply being you.
