1. I love you
not for what you are
but what you make of me.

I love you
for your thoughtful ways
that set my spirit free.

I love you
for your caring touch
that makes my life seem whole.

I love you
for your faith in me
that soothes my weary soul,

I love you
for your patience,
your kindness never ends.

Inspires me to move on with life
through all its curves and bends.

I love you
for your gentle ways
when we both disagree,

Of pointing out what you dislike
without much hurting me.

I love you
for the friendship
you give without pretense,

that made me madly fond of you
and miss you in your absence.

I love you
for your gentle kiss
and warmth of your embrace.

I love you
for the boost you give
so often without praise,

For all these things
and all these reasons
that you've made me what I am.

I love you too with all my life
and all the person that I am.

I LOVE YOU!

2. You don't have to say a wordYou don't even have to speak
I can see pain in your eyes
The sorrow that you keep

You think that no one notices
The sadness that you hide
But I can see straight through your mask
Those lonely nights you cried

I know that painful way you smile
When you're dying alone inside
Laughing, joking all the while
I can see how hard you've tried

And when you're lying on your bed
Every lonely night
I know you struggle not to cry
Or give up with your fight

All those times you called out in your sleep
I heard every single one
You wanted to find that special place
The place where you belong

Now we've found that place together
I just want you to know
That depression will never break us apart
Our love will only grow

I've seen your pain now for so long
You no longer have to hide
I will stick by you forever
Always by your side

And when you call out in despair
I will come to you
I will stay there by your bed
Helping you pull through

I know those people ran away
Not knowing what to do
But I will never run from your pain
Because, darlin??. I love you
