Look Who is Standing By...

You taught me how to walk...
but, i may have learned how to run...
you gave me a beautiful life...
though, i may have given it the twists & turns...
yet, you have always stood by me...
but, i was the one who never noticed...

i may have been ungrateful before...

i may have behaved thanklessly...

i may have been ruthful in what i said...

i may have been reckless in what i did...

but you still always loved me...

inspite of my every behavior...

but then i met a boy...

who said that he loved me...

you said he is not right...

but i still believed him anyway...

i may have been here 2 decades...

but you have been through 5...

if you say something...

it always has its' good reasons!!!

today i accept that you were right...

how could he have loved me???

when he did not even love himself...

how could he have loved me???

when he did not even know what love meant!!!

i may have been thankless yesterday...

but today im sorry & thankful...

that you saved me from a creep...

who is just a family "black sheep"!!!

i should have never have had trusted him...

when he himself never trusted himself...

i should have had never thought of his good/bad...

when all he fears is, he will end up like his dad!!!

how can a guy do good for me...

when he cannot even think for himself...

how can he ever run his family without stumbling...

when he thinks im like his strong mum & he like his dad, fumbling...

still, i wonder why he always wants to keep things on the back burner...

when he feared, in few years, like his mum, i will be the sole bread earner!!!

he did not value me for the love i gave him...

he just said, he's scared, he will end up like his dad!!!

he did not value the trust i put in him...

but, because i did, he thinks im mad...

he is right when he called me potential "crazy"...

i must have been crazy to be crazy about him!!!

& today, i stand tall... even at 5'2"...

because im backed by a dad... who fights all odds...

because i have a mom who loves me & cries in my pain!!!

& today, even at 5'11"... he is nothing...

because he is backed by someone he doesn't respect...

because he is loved by someone, who he, "pities"!!!
