Someone asked what YOU do for me The answer was something they'd never see You never ask me questions like that Just to start Love how you aren't determined to drive me and my family apart Looked downward and replied "You would not understand" Mentally counted reasons silently on my hand I used to stick up for you and argue Now I realize they'll never see my point of view If trying they just mock me while I turn bright red I no longer bother Reminding myself instead
Accepting me the way that I am Work your hardest to see me smile however you can Remembering things I have said in passing long ago Talk because you listen Even when info you already know Repeating same story you have heard a hundred times You see it makes me happy Don't even mind The person who makes me feel comfortable in my own skin Believing I'm beautiful no matter how fat or thin Who sees me at my best and has been there for me at my worst Despite having your own problems Put mine first You encourage to be the very best that I can be Show me things you love when none of them I see You look at me with the same warmth as the day we met As if I'm not completely ruined yet You have more faith in me than I have in myself most of the time Regardless of everything Are proud I call you mine
Though I have made so many mistakes in the past Around you seems like the suffering won't last
This makes me sad because I wrote it when we were still together
