"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measures. It is our light, not darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be?” Nelson Mandela


I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
Even though I’ve been so mean
And walked away from everything I had.
I turned to things I shouldn’t have done
And been with people I shouldn’t have-
You still loved me

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
Those nights you’ve kept me hanging on-
Those nights you’ve helped me to keep trudging on.
Those nights that you’ve saved me
By saying you loved me.

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
Those laughs we share.
Those giggles we have.
The inside jokes.
The smiles.
The bond that can never be broken
?
I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
I’m sorry I’ve been so distant
I’m sorry I’ve forgotten it’s a two way thing.
I’m working on this thing
“the balancing act”
Balancing me and you.
Right now I’m just a bit confused.
But let me tell you-
I love you.

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
At first I didn’t believe it was true-
You wanted to be my friend.
You’ve been here since day one.
I couldn’t have asked for a better friend as you.
Now it’s time for me to be yours.
I love you
And I’m here.

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
I’m human,
I know I mess up.
But just to let you know I’m trying,
Even if it seems like I’m never doing enough.
So lemme hold your hand.
We’ll work through the pain
Cause someday we’ll be home.

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
You showed me life is worth living.
You showed me there is forgiveness-
Trust
Love
And freedom.
You showed me which way to turn.
You really are my best friend.
I love you.

I know you don’t understand
I don’t know if you ever will-
How much I love you.
But that’s ok
Because I know I love you
And together we’ll make it through.
So if you’re having a bad day
Just remember,
I love
You.
