True Meaning of Love

Before you came into my life I didn't know what true love was.
I was getting hurt over and over.
To where it was unbearable and I couldn't stop crying.
I gave up on love and changed to someone who didn't even believe in anything.
I didn't even believe in myself.
Everybody then started thinking I was crazy.
I stopped believing in myself.
I even tried suicide.
But then all my friends found out that I tried it.
They started watching me more.
And made sure that I was okay.
And if I was going to make it through.
Most of the time I barely made it through.
But other times I was just fine and pulled through on my own.
I had so many people to count on.
But there was someone missing from the picture.
Someone to love.
Someone to hold and care for.
Someone to make me feel like me.
Someone that was there for me when I needed them the most.
Someone like you.
You made me believe in myself again.
You made me believe that I could be anything that I wanted.
You pulled me out of suicidal ways.
And made me believe that love was real.
You showed me that everything was going to be okay.
And that I was going to pull through alive.
And that I was going to pull through it with you.

Every time I'm with you or somewhere near you.
I can't cry, because you make me strong.
You take all the sad feeling away.
And replace them with happy ones.
Without you I would probably be lost.
I probably wouldn't be here.
I don't know where I would be though.
Hopefully somewhere away from here.
But I don't want to be somewhere away from here now.
I wouldn't care as long as you would be there.
Right by my side.
You calm me down when I'm mad.
I can never cry when I think about you.
And I can never be depressed as long as you're somewhere near.
If I hear a song that reminds me of you.
I just sit there and listen to it.
And think about you the whole time and every second after.
When I talk to you..
It makes me feel so much better.
Because I know that you love me too.
You've showed me so many things.
You showed me the true meaning of love.
