We met over four years ago
But from that moment I knew you were something special
As time passed that something developed into bonds of friendship
Something special and unknown to me previously
We opened ourselves up to each other
Seeing each other for who we really were
Showing our deepest secrets and troubles
Things that we often didn’t tell others
Or want others to know
Building up trust
Being the only person who I felt comfortable confiding in
Being the first person who I listened and cared for
Do you remember all the time we spent on the swings
Peacefully swinging
Laughing
While telling stories of our childhoods
Beautiful memories
Whenever I see swings now I think of you and our memories together
Sadly people and places change
You moved away, leaving a gap
Another unknown
Loneliness
Not knowing what to do
Who to confide in
To my surprise someone came along
It started well but it wasn’t to be
However you still were there for me
Seeing you and having your support
Kept me on track and from being miserable
Later another disappointment
Again you were there and helped me stay positive
The visit on my birthday was the sweetest present of all
You are so uplifting
A radiant light of happiness
Hearing you ponder about taking your life
Shatters dreams
Complete disbelief
How close I came to losing you forever
Here it is I realise
I love you, and
More than ever
The need to protect you
Now with our freedom
We can return to the swings
Revisit childhood memories
Remember happiness
You have always been there for me
Through all the mistakes and misery
Now I realise it’s my time
To be there for you
Care for you
Protect you
Love you
As that special someone
As you my special girl?
