Don't Give Up On Me

I know I rag on you all the time,
and it's not exactly being nice.
But please don't give up on me just yet.
I need you in my life.
Admittedly I'm not perfect-
farthest from it I'd say.
But just hang in there a little while longer.
Things will get better someday.
And soon, I promise.
I'll show you how much I really care.
I'll show you how much you mean to me
and how I appreciate your always being there.
Because you are always there, you know.
When I need to pull through something your face is always the one I see.
I need the love in your eyes.
So please don't give up on me.
