Dear You

I remember when i found you
you had lost it all
i knew you needed help
and i vowed to catch you from your fall

over the days we talked
and i began to find
the only thing i needed
was trailing right behind

sunken into depression,
so bad you couldn't see
i tried to make you realize
the only person you needed was me

i knew i was falling fast
I was wishing you felt the same
until one day you told me
you were tired of playing this game

i guess in me you found solace
even though we'd never met
i know you remember the night we did
...how could we ever forget?

i was shy and scared
for i had never been loved
after awhile you made me realize
god sent me an angel from above

for at the time you found me
my life was going down
my rapid attempts at breathing
when everyone else was making me drown

it only lasted a month
but then shit got in the way
i tried to push the guilt aside
but we hadnt talked for days

almost a year went by
till we started talking again
had to catch up on everything new,
and i wondered how you'd been

you said that you still loved me
and thats when i broke down
i knew i felt the same
after i lost you, i drowned

cutting overtook me
and shook me into violence
hiding my arms with long sleeve shirts
and leaving my family in silence

you told me to stay strong
and that things would get better
i tried so hard to listen to you
and i wrote you letter after letter

every night i cried
i knew i had to be with you
my face sore from the tears
i knew your love was true

now i think we're just afraid
to lose what we once had
just remember someday hunny,
you're going to make a wonderful dad
