I never said thank you for that

I've been hit by a song, a line in particular, and I feel as though it's speaking to me.

I never said thank you
for putting up with my childish tantrums
for hearing me cry my eyes out for the most insignificant things
for creating yet another meaning of 'home'
for giving me reason to believe and have faith
for telling me it would be 'okay'
for making me feel special, even though I'm not
for giving me something to think about
for being you and letting me be 'me'
for making me feel insecure
for hurting me, so that I could realize your value
for the million little things that you thought I wouldn't notice
for putting up with my worst
for accepting my flaws
for helping me try to correct them
for letting me make mistakes
for making me stand on my own two feet
for making me stronger
for letting me know you love me
for sharing your views and dreams, because they matter
for making me feel invincible
for showing me the light
for letting me help you
for showing me your bad side too, so that I could embrace mine
for making sense of what I say and feel
for bringing me back to Earth
for being there in my life, as whatever role you play.

so lucky, so strong, so proud.


May angels lead you in
