I can't fully explain what you have done to me Or let alone, done for me And God... there isn't a day that goes by That I don't thank the Lord above for you Entering my life the way that you have I remember that day very clearly Walking into class Unusually solemn and held back I didn't want anyone to go near me Or let alone touch me But something was different about the way that you reacted Something that can't be explained That.... just is Just worked that way And at that space and time, I just knew you were meant to stay With my head laid upon the table You didn't question nor speak Just patted my head No words needed to be said You knew there was something wrong At first, I was afraid to tell you Afraid to know what you would say React or do in the long run How could I have ever been afraid of you? You were the only one who stayed When the words started bleeding from my lips Instead of growing distant, you grew closer Instead of pulling away, you drew near Instead of pity, you gave sympathy You gave hope- encouragement I never told you this but I always thought you were the only one who believed me Who wanted to learn about what had happened and physically, emotionally help me through You never once walked out on me in my time of need You never once changed the subject, laughed and joked around You never once stopped believing- holding onto my hand I think that's why, after so long I just let go of everyone else All the while, clinging onto you Because in some way or other, they had hurt me Maybe not purposely, but hurt nonetheless You were the only who proved to care And treated it as an adult Is that why you were different? You were the only one to grow up as fast I have? You just... understood But one of the most important things you have ever done Or shown Was the understanding that it would take time to heal what I have lost Time to fix myself- recooperate You saw the things I have done after what had happened Good and bad, and you just understood that some of it wasn't my fault That I still had a bit of recovering to do And with you by my side I know I can overcome anything For I've survived the hardest thing to ever hit my life And now it's time for me to understand, myself That if I could survive that, I could survive anything else that comes along.
