Thank you ( For being you)

I wanna thank you for being you
For always being there & always being true
I wanna thank you for knowing how to care
For always treating me in what's good & what's fair
I wanna thank you for those bad days I had
For not letting go & be there when things went so mad
I wanna thank you for the tears and for the smiles
For all the roads we shared & going through the same miles
I wanna thank you for always knowing what to do
for always giving me the strength to make it through
I wanna thank you for your stupid jokes and moments
for all the differences we have & all your sweet comments
I wanna thank you for the long nights on the phone
for being my candle when I always felt so alone
I wanna thank you for knowing what's wrong with me
for looking into my eyes was just enough for you to see
I wanna thank you for pulling me away from lies
for not letting the bad thoughts take me away
I wanna thank you for my worst day
for being my sense & never let me let me let go of my life away
I wanna thank you even if you're so far gone
for telling me that I need to always find a way to move on
I wanna thank you because I now know
that even if you don't want to sometimes, you have to let go
that no matter how much life might bring such a huge sorrow
you gotta believe in next days & that there's always a tomorrow
I wanna thank you for everything & maybe for believing in me the most,

You know what, forget about it, I just wanna say:
(THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU)

Yo dear Sarah 45,

The use of ampersands draws attention to themselves, and detracts from the poem.

Love Bobby
