Why

Why do you always put up with my moods,
and try to cheer me up?
When I'm ranting and raving over the smallest thing,
You can always lift me up.

My memories of you are like a dream,
which never ends.
We've been up, we've been down,
and around life's many bends.

Each day I thank my lucky stars,
Thank them for you, and that we've come this far,
We stick together through thick and thin,
We've gotten out of the troubles we might have been in.

Why is it that when troubles and depression come close,
I can depend on you to hold me tight, to comfort me and care.
You're always there when I need you most,
If I turn around, I know that you'll be there!

If I think hard, I
find the answer,
to why you are so good to me,
Because your nature is to care,
you can't help but love.
And I'm just glad it's me you chose,
Because without you I'd be nothing
