You have taught me many things,
You have taught me how wonderful life can be,
Taught me the value of myself,
The value of feelings,
The value of the world,
And how it should always be a part of you,
You taught me of love,
A new love,
For I have experienced love,
But not love of this type,
I had a crush once,
And then an infatuation,
And once I was able to get past that,

I found love,

But it was not love,

Because it was not even,
It was not mutual,

Yes,
She loved me,
But only for what I could provide,
What was good,

She ignored the bad,
Or tried to fix it,
Or to get me to ignore it,

You did not so,

You love me,
For me,

And I love you,
For you.

I hope you realize that.
I hope you see your worth.

But if you don't,

I will open your eyes,

As you have opened mine.
And we shall view the world anew.
