Here With Me

I must admit,
There are times when I forgot you were there
Unless I needed you
Then you were the only one I looked to

I have rebelled
From being told how to live my life
But then I found
Only when you are with me, can I be happy

I used to think
I would be just fine on my own
But without you
I found out what it means, to be alone

I was searching
For a peace which eluded me
But then I discovered
It was there all along, with you

Oh stubborn me
Why did I have to fight you?
For so long
I stumbled blindly through darkness

Yet, you waited
Never truly leaving my side
You stayed hidden
So I could find you on my own

I used to care
About what people might think
Now I pity them
For laughing at me, from within the darkness

Let them search
For their own elusive peace
As I celebrate
Finding mine, with you here with me
