Thanks For Everything

I love to watch you sleep at night
and cuddle close till morning light
Love that we hardly ever fight
I love the way you love me...

I love the way you feel inside...
I love the way you let me ride...
Love that I can now take pride
in light of what love gave me...

Remembering holding to your hand...
Driving to see that you were not well...
I was washed out to sea and you brought me to land...
I tried not to love you but for you I fell...

I fell so hard...
I fell so far...

And I never told you what wonder you are...

For you tell the truth,
You support,
You don't lie...

And you are so smooth,
Impressive,
And Spry...

You saved me from fear
when you could have destroyed me...

You held fast to my hand
bud you did not annoy me...

I was thirsty for trust
and you gave while I drank you...

You gave what I needed
and I wanted to thank you.

I love you more than you will ever know.

Less than 24 hours after this was written, I learned that while I was writing it he was fucking someone else. He'd been lying all along, and I can't believe I ever wrote this shit for him.
