A Simple Thanks

The richness you bring to my life

The laughs, the smiles, your sacrifice

I appreciate what it is that you do

Sometimes it seems like a dream come true

Although it never will be set in stone

I accept that, I truly know

That what it is you do to me

Makes life seem a little more complete

The time you give, the time we share

From my heart and mind will go nowhere

Except to a place where I hold you dear

There is no regret, there is no fear

Somehow you feel safe to me

I admire your thoughtfulness and honesty

I treasure the secrets that you and I share

I'm grateful to have a place for my soul to bare

The things I feel others might not quite grasp

You understand me and I hope that lasts

Because you have given life to me

When I most felt it was hard to breathe

A simple 'thanks' may not be enough

For the smiles you bring, no one else can touch

The depths to which you have surpassed

And the freedom you've given my heart at last

I never thought something so far

Could bring my world back from apart

So this is my simple thanks to you

For being the only one who knows me true
