You Ask Me Why

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

You ask me why I don't give up
Just turn my back and go
You're an asshole, you say
Nothing more than that
But if only that was it
And if only, I thought of you that way
Then wouldn't my life be easier?
But it isn't
And I'm happy about it
For I wouldn't have had such a wonderful guy like you in my life
Why?
Why do I care so much?
Let me atleast try to tell you
For there's no way I can possibly tell you all the joy you have brought into my life

You taught me to not give up
Even when there was nothing left to fight for
And when it seemed as though everything in the world was going against me
You taught me strength and endurance
And how to fight my own battles
Fighting against others who knocked me down 
Or tried to rise above me
You taught me how to trust someone
To truely open up and just act like myself
Even if I'm the only one who seemed to like me
For who I am
You taught me how to love
How to give and also to recieve
And how to let someone into my heart
Even though, at times, it was difficult
To tell who I should and who I shouldn't
You taught me how to laugh my way through the tears
Dust the anger off as though it were
A piece of dirt
You taught me the word sacrifice
To give up something I love
If it meant that someone else was to get something out of the deal
You taught me how to rise above something that was pulling me down
Chaining me and drowning me as though it were the end of life all together
But most importantly, you taught me how to love someone
To accept their faults and weaknesses
As I would their strong points
And to love you
As a friend, companion, and partner for all times.
