Blair

through being with you
i learned i was selfish
even when i was selfless
it was all about me
through you i learned
if its easy it probably isnt worth it
and sometimes the tough times make the good shine
through being with you
everyone heard my songs
of the dreams of spotlights
because of you i have learned to be strong
well learning
i see my faults and flaws now
and look for ways to better myself
I now know i have to look at what i have
hopefully forever
and know when we argue
i learn what i had now its gone

you have been a target of much of my long burried pains
and you heal me and teach me to heal myself in soo many ways

im scared i am the worst thing to happen to you
all the things i put you through
because of you
i know what a true man is

but will i ever measure up
and grow out of these little boy shoes?
