Ya made me Laugh

It's amazing to me,
When we first met I was lost and alone
Sad and lonely were my friends.

So slowly we got to know each other
That I can't remember when it happened
You soothed my soul

Long talks on the phone,
That seemed to last just minutes,
I would glance at the clock
And realize how fast the time went
What seemed like minutes
Were in fact hours.

You said things to me,
About me and the person I am,
That I could not believe to be true

You see,
I had been told otherwise,
And told you to Open your eyes,
I could hear the tension down the phone line
Because I thought
You were just being kind

Sometimes it got so intense
I didn't know what to say
And out of your mouth
Came something that made my day

Ya made me laugh
With your corny jokes,
Your silly little lines.
Ya made me remember
What it was like to laugh
With someone else.

It wasn't at my expense
It wasn't aimed at me,
It was a shared laughter
Over shared thoughts.

Who would have guessed,
The quiet little me,
Was finally starting to break free?

You made me think things I would rather have forgotten
You made me feel
Emotions I thought were best left alone.

You looked at me.
At me!
Not through me
Or over me,
But at me,
Who I was,

Now and in the future,
You looked in my eyes,
You moved past the aloofness.
To the truth thats me
You set me free.

I laugh and I love
I find joy and happiness,
In a place that I hadn't thought of,
Within me.

Your words and emotions
There were no rules,
There was no right and wrong,
You said what had to be said,
And made me look deep inside my head.

Finally I realize,
What a small existance I had lived,
I was trying to get over something,
That I had grown dependant on.

It wasn't a happy life,
It was honestly filled with strife.
Tension and stress were my companions,
My everyday existance.

The long hours of conversation,
Sharing the pain was new to me
And I found it easier to get through
When I was talking to you.

Ya made me laugh,
Ya made me cry.
Ya made me have feeings
That I had long since thought died.

Little butterflies in my stomach
Gut wrenching emotions
That are both terrifying
And amazing.

As fast as I pushed away,
Ya grabbed ahold and held on.
Making me look and see,
Everything that I wanted and needed to be.

I can't find the words,
To tell you how much it means,
You gave me back something,
I had thought gone forever.
You gave me back me,

Confidence and caring,
The simple joy of sharing,
Words and emotions
Laughter and Devotion.

A thank you sounds so trifling,
So small and insignificant,
When what you gave me
Is so huge.

All I can say,
All I can do,
Is say how much it means to me,
You sat and listened.
You didn't laugh at me,
Or belittle me.
You didn't say I was stupid.
You encouraged me,
You defended me.
You gave me back my confidence.

And to think,
In the beginning,
It all started because simply,
Ya made me laugh.
