have you ever had that one person that makes life worth living

when life gets so hard you don't even think you can go on,
but out of no where a special kind of person comes into your life

i never thought id ever have that person,
but i guess i will always stand corrected

our lives were so different, we were so different,
yet we are so perfect

i was such a different person before you

i couldn't look at myself in the mirror
until you were able to make me believe a i was beautiful enough to do so

i couldn't look at a knife without a bad thought,
now my only bad thought is if i cut myself cooking dinner how worried you'd be

i used to love being in agonizing pain silently with nothing to calm it,
but now all i can think about the lecture you'll give me if i go a second in pain without telling you

i couldnt think of myself as a real person,
only an empty shell of one,
until you gave me a reason to express myself

the courage to do so

i learn for you
i am healthy for you
i smile for you
i look in the mirror for you
i  write for you

i write because im still alive with these memories,
these ideas

i live,
for you.
