What If I Never Found You

What If we never met and never fell in love? 
When I was down, who would be there to pick me up? 
Even when I want to be alone I'm still trying to be around you
I wonder where I'd be if I never found you 

Sometimes I say the wrong things, but I always try to be respectful
With the way I put you down, some may say that I'm neglectful
Then I pick you back up and hold you close
I'm a private person but you're the one that I show the most

You provide me with a voice even when I struggle to speak 
You have the ability to take away the troubles in me
Some people won't like the way I use you
I care deeply, but some might say I abuse you

You've had many lovers, but that doesn't bother me
Because I'm thankful for what you offer me
Sometimes I've contemplated what I actually need you for
But when you leave me for a while, I realise that I need you more 

Even if I wanted to break up with you, I couldn't leave you quickly 
I don't trust many, but see, you fixed me
That's why I need you with me
Nothing compares to the release you give me

You stayed by my side even when you could have left
When the world judged, you understood my mess
Sometimes we become distant, but I hope to always have you close to me 
This isn't about a girl, this is my love poem to poetry
