I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try

I could always talk as much as I wanted so long as I pet you while I did

You can’t always see the light you wield How brightly it shines how far it reaches

Whatcha doing? Can I help? Well, can I sit with you then? I want to be close to you

When I got sick You could tell And sat with me Until I felt better

When I was asked to care for you I didn't think I'd be able to I had a lot going on But I still couldn't say no

I know you're beautiful even though you don't believe it

I know you're worth it even when you don't feel like it

I'm not just here when you're happy I do love it when we smile together When we radiate joy that soon becomes contagious

Even on the days when the people you love aren’t there Know that wherever they are they all still care

(For Lex)

Soft and gentle And oh so beautiful And I get to love you forever
