You ask why? I can only answer.

I love the way your smile brightens the room,
even when you put no effort into it.

I love how people are on edge to make you happy;
and that I'm the one you chose to fulfill that goal.

I love how you manage to shine so brightly even when the darkness consumes all.

Therefor,
My personal darkness
can't come close to tainting you;
and for that I'm truly grateful.

I see a side of you,
that I wish was always there,
but theres no need for me to do so,
because no matter how dark a day is
that light will always lurk in the shadows.

To redeem what was lost.

You show me what I've been missing,
and how to gain that happiness I see in your eyes.

Even when your sad - theres a resolute pureness in you,
something that draws everyone to you.

But there are times when you chose to forget that happiness,
to remember a past that isn't worthy of you.
You deserve only the best,
And I can only hope;
that in me -
you didn't choose wrong.
