For You

You taught me so much 
From that very first day 
I can't believe that I finally have the courage to say 
How much you mean to me 
Don't wanna die with these words still yet to be said 
It hurts my head 
Just to imagine
The golden rainbows and buttercups you wove, all for me 
Now I want you to see 
You taught me more than he ever had, 
Even though you're not who I call Dad 
He taught me to ride a bike 
But you taught to me how to fly a kite 
Whenever I needed you, you fought right by my side 
Through thick and thin
You'd always said, "We have thicker skin."
You helped me with my homework 
Waited patiently even when I had a temper
I just want you to remember
I need you now more than ever 
And still you stand with me 
Even though you're not here 
I hold these memories dear 
Forever 
In my heart you'll stay forever
