Forever in gratitude.

You always stood in the shadows
Watching over me
You always walked a step behind
Letting me lead
You always would catch me when I fall
Protecting me
You always were there for me
My guardian

I took you for granted…

Yet you were always gracious
A gentle, selfless soul
Who instilled such mad hope
And made me whole

You are all I’m reaching for…

I am nothing without you
Heaven only knows why you cared
Or why you stood by me
I am evermore grateful to you my love

You make sense of who I am…

You are my best friend
My only friend
You made this life
This lonely life
Worth living again

You breathe life into me…

I am thankful for you
Every single day
You are my armour
My noble shield
The gatekeeper of my heart

    Let me be your knight in shining armor. I will take arrows on my back and elude a swordslash with my shoulder to keep you out of harm. I am your servant my princess…if only you could break the spell, I’m a frog prince. So dare to kiss me if you would (kidding). Sorry I was carried. Your lines mesmerized me.
