Always There

For as long as I've known you,
you have been there for me,
when I've felt like I couldn't go on.
You held my hand when I got bad news,
told me that everything was going to be OK,
I didn't believe you at first but now.
Now I know that you were right,
when I was told that I didn't belong,
I ran to you for comfort and love.
If you didn't come into my life,
I don't know where I'd be right now,
I'm the luckiest person alive.
To have someone as loving and caring in my life.
for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart,
from the depths of my soul you are the only one for me.
You are my heart, my soul,
you are the reason why I carry on.
