My Golden Angel

You came into my life when I was lost in the darkness,
controlled by fear in the depths of deep despair.
But I took a chance on rescuing you,
hoping that you would save me too.

You were completely dependant on me,
causing me to face my fears in order to look after you.

You taught me that fears can be overcome
and happiness can be achieved,
but most of all you taught me that love in this world is real!

You opened my eyes to the world around me,
the world that I had missed out on because I shut myself away.
But you were everything I ever dreamed of,
everything I ever needed for me to want to live.

Ever since you came into my life,
you have taught me how to trust again,
I no longer have to hide inside the darkness.

And since the day I rescued you,
you became my golden angel,
and in the time we have spent together,
there is one great gift you have given me:

for the first time in my life,
you have taught me how to smile, how to laugh,
and how to finally feel free.
