You

You've changed my life
In so many ways
I couldn't begin to tell you 
What you do really pays
 
You've given me everything
Your life and your soul
I'd give you anything
My heart in a bowl
 
You've made sacrifices
Just to be with me
There's nothing I'd rather do
Than to be with you
 
You've shown me love
Inside and out
Not once in my heart
Have I had a doubt
 
You've done what you could
Even after regret
You went against rules 
Just to get on the net
 
You've talked all night
Although you were tired
You kept all your energy 
When I was still wired
 
You've apologized for everything
Things that weren't your fault
And never would you stop
Until I came to a halt
 
You've stayed with me
After all the talk
You still hold my hand
Every time that we walk
 
You've changed your ways
To make me happy
Even after it all
would make you feel crappy 
 
You''ve told me you love me
And actually meant it 
By saying those words
You were ready for commitment
 
You've held me close 
After the fights
Never did you care
Of the fact that I'm white
 
You've been there for me
Through thick and thin
You loved every moment 
Even when I win
 
You've insured me so much
That things would get better 
You've made me believe
That you were my shelter
 
You've loved me for me
Not for my looks
And for once I haven't
Judged the cover of a book
