The Gift

Fairy tales don’t happen and dreams don’t come true
But something special happened when I met you
The gift you gave has changed my plan
Changed my vision of what I see in a man
You may not understand why this is a gift to me
You may not see how this has set me free
But I thank you freely with all my heart
For being just "you" right from the start
My long years of pain have washed away
As have the days of anger and gray
To have the healing touch of understanding and kindness
Make the years of suffering seem so mindless
I was so locked-up within my own soul
I felt like more like a ghost instead of whole
Getting to know you has given me a glance
of knowing someone's out there - why leave it to chance
With all my words and actions I say thank you
for letting me be me and for you just being you
