This Is Why I Love You

Music: Are Two Chords Enough Dear? - Daphne Loves Derby

Just when I thought I've had enough of what the world had to offer.
Just when I thought my heart would cave under the immense weight of the world.
Just when my head would not stop throbbing and eyes burn from all the tears.
Just when where I wanted to be was in my mother's arms.
Just when I hated everything and everyone around me--

You come around.

You pull me back to life.
You make me smile at the saddest songs.
You make me forget how to cry.
You give me back my sense and remind me of what I'm really here for.

You've always been my savior. And you never complained, even when I doubted, even when I was the most difficult person to put up with. Even when you felt despaired by my antics. Even when I pushed you to tears.

It's the little things you do. Like turning on the heater in your car despite you loving the cold because I'm not used to the cold without me asking at all. Like downloading my favorite songs into your iPod and instantly playing them when I'm upset. Like not asking me what's wrong but just giving me a hug in the cooler like the clandestine lovers that we were.

You saved me again today.

All I can do is say thank you. You're my little piece of heaven.

And I will always love you.
