Because you love me

I met you during my darkest days
yet you stood by me,
made me smile in your own ways.
i was a mess, you know what i mean,
still you were there and saw the beauty within.

at times i felt like i was a very big disappointment,
but you never failed to give a love that can't be bent.
i know i failed you in gazillion ways,
still you supported me and never left me through the days.

time passed by and your hair's turning white,
now it's my turn to be your light.
i may not do a hundred percent like you,
but i hope i can return my depth like the way you do.
