You came a long way, didn't you?
Weathered many storms, didn't you?
Your skin bares countless scars from the harsh winds,
and yet you continue to walk, don't you?
Thank you...
Thank you
For continuing on
even when all you saw were harsh winds
and chaos surrounding you
For dragging your feet forward
through the darkness
even when there was no light there to guide you
Thank you
If not for you...
I would still be curled up in that deep darkness,
too scared to face the harsh winds
Is it because you knew that nothing would change
as long as you remain?
Is that why you moved on forward
to anywhere?
Whatever it was...
Truly
Thank you
Because of you
my hopeless days
are now filled with hope
