Before I knew it, I had learned to share my joys with others.
There’s no need to push myself past my limits, because the person I am right now is not alone.
Little by little, I grew to change, as we moved towards a bond that we can both put faith in.
Even on days full of discouragement, you were there beside me,
Thus changing these trembling hands into strength.
I want to extend for even a second longer the time we take for granted,
If it means being able to spend it with you.
Before I knew it, I found myself still nursing old wounds.
Whenever they’re close to swallowing me up whole, I think of you.
I wonder if I’ve advanced a little further towards a strength that we can both accept.
Even on days full of discouragement, you were there beside me,
Thus making me honestly believe that I could overcome anything.
Although I can only make commonplace gestures, I wish we will forever continue
Holding each other up.
All of my hope, dreams, and love, I had locked away.
But ever since I met you, the world seems to glow, little by little.
With you by my side, I will stand back up time and time again,
And change these trembling hands into strength.
That extra second squeezed out of the time we take for granted,
I will spend with you.
Even on days full of discouragement, you were there beside me,
Slapping my shoulder reassuringly so that I may overcome.
Although I can only speak in clichés, I hope my thanks still reach you,
Always.
