I encrypt myself in a code that's hard to read,
And the ones who want to crack it I push away from me,
I can't keep hiding, deciding, what's best for you,
I can't keep acting like I know what to do.
-
But you,
The blessing in my life,
Always knows what to say,
How to make things right.
-
I keep everything inside until a pipe starts to leak,
I tremble from the constant facade that creaks,
The water gets higher and I can't swim,
Thus I drown in the sorrows I've locked within.
-
On a whim,
You reach out your hand to me,
Pull me out of the water,
So I can can breathe.
-
All because of you I believe in change,
I believe in what I once considered as strange,
People are going to stand by my side,
Pick me up to help me rise,
-
Those eyes,
That see closely into my heart,
I'll never take for granted,
I'll never be apart.
-
A mother, a friend, an beautiful angel,
My damaged soul you've come to cradle,
In your arms I feel so safe,
Like I can fly so close to grace.
-
Now I can face,
The foggy mist that's beginning to clear,
I can do anything,
As long as your near.
-
So here's a toast to someone dear,
I've known her for less than a year,
But I can't imagine life without her here,
To keep me sane, have her warmth, her lending ear.

Baby doll, this barely describes what you mean to me. Thank you.
