I Could Tell You That I Love You

I could tell you that I love you,
But simple words could not portray,
The feelings that I have for you,
No matter how I?d ever say.

I love you so for who you are,
And what you show of me.
Revealing so much more inside,
That I could ever see.

I love you for the way you try
To encourage me each day.
And how you taught me to go on,
And try to find a way.

You helped me through my toughest times,
You lead me through the dark.
Though we?ve fought , both so distraught,
Your bite?s less than your bark.

You always aided me steadfast,
My guardian in this place.
You taught me never to give up,
That patience wins the race.

I could tell you that I love you,
But no words could portray
How much I admire you,
But I?ll say it any way.

If you need help, call me.
If your scared, I?m at you side.
My friend, I?ll help you through it,
In me you can confide.
