This one isn't to analyse
This one isn't to question
Or to worry

It's to appreciate what you've given me
Because I doubt I'll ever feel I've shown it enough

Life was harder before you turned up of course
Though I lived optimistically, I had my pains
Old baggage that pounded my spine with pressure
And habits that clogged my rationality

I worked through it, pushed towards the person I want to be
Intent on constructing myself in my ideal image
But I knew deep down that I would work that much harder
If I had someone to work for

What I didn't know was how amazing a person that someone would be
What a reassuring blessing I would receive
Just by offering that person dinner

I feel.. light
Empowered
Ambitious
And reassured
But most of all I'm not sure I deserve how easy everything is now

If I brought you all the world's flowers
It's money, it's chocolate and wine
And build you a record breaking skyscraper
By the labour of my hands

I would still short change you
For what you've given me

Thank you
