Sometimes I think of how it would be if you hadn't of entered my life the way that you have And it's scary, you know Because I know where I would be And it wouldn't be here Or wouldn't be anywhere For I would have given up Given up on love On laughter And on life It's a scary thought but it's true You caught up with me at the most crucial time of my life And I will always remember how you treated me With respect, with compassion, and with love The three things no one ever showed me before That is, before you came You taught me how to walk all over again Finally rising from off my knees and brushing the dirt off of my life You taught me to laugh To look at life from a different perspective than what I was used to And not as though everything was hopeless But most of all, you saw the real me And not the person I revealed myself to be on the outside You looked inside my heart, my soul, my mind And put the pieces back together To finally see the real, true picture of me You not only helped me out of the darkness, but you held my hand when I didn't have the strength to pull myself up And you let go of my hand when you knew that it would be best if I did it on my own Strength, hope, and patience are what you taught me Laughter, life, and peace of mind are what you showed me Love and friendship are what stemmed from your actions And belief that I could do anything, came from your lessons You taught me, you guided me, you inspired me into being the person that I am today And without you, I know I wouldn't be here I wouldn't have gotten this far And I definitly wouldn't have had the best friend, gaurdian angel, teacher, and sister that I have in my life today Thank you for giving me hope And for allowing me the chance to let out all that I was holding back And for giving me a second chance at a life I almost gave up so long ago.
