dear you

Dear You;

thank you for always being there for me. thank you for not believing the things people say about me. thank you for always pushing me to do my best. thank you for making sure i know that you love me. thank you for being my best friend. thank you for making me laugh when i can hardly smile. thank you for those nights of silence where you just sit and hold my hand and tell me everything will be okay, i sure miss those. thank you for those long hugs and the kisses on my forehead, thank you for making me feel worth something. thank you for picking me up each time i fall, thank you for being proud of me. thank you for working so hard to be the man you want to be. thank you for not just telling me but showing me that you love me. thank you for being my rock, someone i can always count on. thank you for taking care of me. thank you for being everything i dreamed of as a little girl. thank you for giving me unstoppable butterflies. thank you for making me feel special. thank you for sticking around and never giving up. thank you for fighting for us. thank you for being you. thank you for making me the luckiest girl in the world. i love you.

Beautiful, I watch you try

To see yourself through others' eyes
The mirrors are a losing game
They only show you backwards anyway

The magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
But everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

You were only five years old
Playing princess in your mothers clothes
Could you feel me standing next to you
With my plastic sword and playground shoes
Saying if my dear wrong somehow, may dragons come and fell me now.
Because everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

Why
I don't know why
I don't know why you think you need to do it
How
I don't know how 
I don't know how you been
I just sit back and see my way right through it

When the memories are ten feet tall
Casting shadows on your bedroom wall
When you pull the shades and kill the lights
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Days are long and words are cruel
They won't get the best of you
Because everything you'll ever beYou have always been to me
