People come && go
Promises are broken
Loved ones die unexpectedly
Leaving many words unspoken
Those are the two mistakes
I repeat time && time again
From the death of my mother
To the countless amount of lost friends
Now this isn't a birthday poem
As there are more important things to be said
And have to be, before I lose you
Or you randomly turn up dead
I'm never going to lose you?
Is that what you're going to say?
Because I've heard it all before
And my faith is decreasing more each day
So many people have hurt me
So hard that I wanted to die
I have grown accustomed to a life
Knowing only how to cry
My life has been so hard, still is
I guess it's made me strong
Love and affection has been my medicine
It has been all along
I need to know im loved,
To know that people care
I need to be able to trust someone
Know they will always be there
These people are so hard to find
But its so great when you do
These people are like angels without wings
And one of my angels is you
Claire, you'll never know how much you mean to me
I cant even put it into words
You have treated me so well
Maybe more than I have deserved
You don't know how much it means to me
To know you truly care
To know I can trust you with everything
Just knowing your always there
When I need you, you come to my rescue
Just seeing you brightens my day
Suddenly im entirely safe
And have a feeling everything might be okay
I never feel like going to school
In the end I still do
But most days the one and only reason
Is just to see you
You really don't know how much you've affected my life
You've changed it for the better
The amount of gratitude towards you
Is something you couldn't even measure
You have helped me so much
And even though you weren't here from the start
It doesn't matter, you've helped me more than enough so I thank you
You will always be in my heart
"You don't know what you've got until its gone"
Is the one thing I've always believed to be true
That's why I couldn't take the risk of not writing you this poem
Because you need to know id be nothing without you.
Happy Birthday Claire.
