An innocent thought
a crush of a girl
that slowly became
why you're my whole world.
A little joke
a nervous little confession
it sent me on my way
to a whole new strange direction.
I still remember
knowing I couldn't be
I couldn't be the one that stood beside you
one day I made a wish
and hoped that it came true
honestly, I have to say that the wish was you.

I made a few new friends
that understood me well
and maybe I just have to say
life is going fine.
We'll laugh a little bit
and we'll understand just why
but the best thing about being with you two
is that my hope is so alive.
I understand, these people
are why I'm still living this stife.

I made a good choice
that led my family to be
even everso slightly
starting to be proud of me.
I'm living in a household
filled with love and respect.
I feel that appreciation
is stored in a special place
and that affection in my heart
will never be erased.

As life is getting better
I still have someone to thank.
The reason that I made it
to be in this beautiful world;
the reason that I'm alive today
even if some people are mad
well, the reason that I'm still here
is a special person in my heart.
I'll always love you, Dad.
