Thanks for the Pain

Dear A,

Thanks for the memories,
and my first chance to shine.
You built me up so high
that I swore I could never fall again.
But the you pulled the blocks from under me
You sent me crashing to the earth,
But he was there waiting at the bottom.
He picked me up.
He dusted me off.
He saved me.

And now I realized how much of a fool I can be
Because I followed you all those years.
Well,
That's over now.

I can never thank you enough for the pain.
I'll never be able to repay you for the tears you made me cry.
I owe you more than I could ever give.
Because you brought me him.

And that makes everything worth the wait.
