Convincing.

I've never been good with my words,

You know that,

When I try, my temper only rises,

I don't have some complex way to tell you how I'm feeling,

It all just comes out simple,

Maybe that's because I'm just a simple person,

I'm so typical it kills me,

I'm another clone in society,

But something about you,

You saved me.

I didn't have a heart,

I swear, I really didn't,

There was just a hole,

And the older I became, the hole grew deeper,

I tried to fill the hole,

With useless things that I'd convince myself were important,

But all those things, they weren't important at all,

They always fell through,

and I was left with that hole,

Then you came along,

And for the first time ever,

The hole started to cover,

And a growth began,

The growth, grew into my heart,

It was all because of you.

When I tell you, you saved me,

I don't mean that I was about to burn in a building,

Or drown in the ocean,

It's much more then that,

You gave me a reason to live,

Not just be alive,

And if you've ever been there you know the difference,

But I pray that you never have,

Because someone like you,

You should never hurt at all,

You're a adventure, the bright morning sky,

Nobody has ever shined so bright in my life.
