I never actually appreciate the things that are given to me
I think that my situation is much worse than it is
I can’t believe that I am so ungrateful
I can’t believe that I just take everything for granted
A song makes me think tonight
About how I’m not alone in situations like these
How there are more foster children than just me
In situations where they can’t do anything
I can’t believe I overlook the blessings I have
I have a friend that truly cares
Even when I try to push them away, they fight
They don’t leave me; no matter if I try too hard or not
I can’t believe they are saying these things to me
About how much they care, how much they love me
It feels wrong on so many levels
Like I don’t deserve it from anyone
I want to look into their eyes
I want to let them truly know
How much I appreciate them
For no giving up on me
There are the strangest things that make me think
I country song just plays and I start to realize
That not everyone has someone to talk to
To vent to, to cry to, to rely on
This person can’t see how they are amazing
They make me think about everything I have done
I actually can talk to them about everything
That is a person I cannot live without
I need that open relationship that I have
Even though I don’t act like I want it all the time
I hate it when someone tells me “I know…”
When they don’t know what I’m going through
Strangely, when this person says it
I actually believe it even though I say that they don’t know
I can’t see to find someone to replace this person
I just want to stop hurting them, in every way
I want them to be with me every step of the way
To be beside me when I wake up every morning
To be there when I get home from a stressful day
To be next to me when all I want to do it sit and cry
This person is my friend; my other half
This person is my light in the darkness they enjoy
This person is my comfort in times of pain
This person is my everything when I have nothing
Sometimes when I want to lose faith in everything
They actually make me want to make it work
It is their voice that calms my anger, my frustration
Their passion that never ends when I am unresponsive
This isn’t just a coincidence; not by any chance
This isn’t an accident that we started talking
This isn’t by fate that we are continuing to talk
This is all by dreams that this still lives
This is no longer something that I fear to express
This is all that I need to focus on
To know that I can make it through even when I don’t want to
To know that when I wake up, I have another day with them
They let me know that I’m not alone tonight
They let me know that I am loved
They let me know that I am cared for
They let me know that they appreciate the little things I do
They let me know that I am appreciated as a person
They let me know that I am stronger than I think I am
They let me know that there is more to life than this
They let me know that I can’t let people hold me back
They let me know how much I care for them
Because I listen to what they say
Even when I don’t feel like continuing
I don’t do it just for me; I do it for us
Those stars that never seem to stop shining
Will always let me know that you are there
Will always let you know that I love you
Will always let me have dreams of what I need
That will maybe one day come true
