A stronger man

I don't know how many times I am going to say those three words,

no matter how many times I do it never seems enough.


I promised to give you all of my love,

and that is exactly what I am doing.


You saved me from a life of drugs and suicide,

and for that I thank you with my life.


You have helped this washed up teenager step back up on his feet,

and realize the man he is supposed to be.


I promise from now on,

I will be the man you deserve.


Whenever a problem reveals it's dirty face,

I will protect you from it.


It is a fact that I am extremely sensitive,

for this you know for sure.


But from now on,

I will be strong for you.


You have affected my life in so many ways,

all of them good.


I have never cried as much in such a short amount of time,

even in my depression.


You are changing so many things about me,

I just need to thank you someday.


And as for you,

the small things I am changing make the world for me.


You finally realize just how beautiful you really are,

slowly but surely.


Someday you will love yourself as much as I love you,

and when that day comes I will welcome you with open arms.


I may regret so many actions in my lifetime,

but there is one I have not looked back on yet.


Meeting you is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me,

and being called yours makes it all worthwhile.


I love you Alex,

and I want your life to be as amazing as you have made mine.


Here's to our future,

may it be grand.


But most of all,

let's hope we spend it together.
