Best Of Me • m.yg

It's not important that it's a dream or a reality
Only the fact that you're by my side
Thanks

I've been through a lot of fights.
I've faced a lot of problems.
I've felt fear and anxiety consume me.
I visited the doctor for help.
I went through a long and tiring process to get rid of that fear and anxiety.

And throughout all those experiences, you stayed by my side.
Even when you were sick, you never left.

I remember having to play the piano once in front of over a hundred strangers. You were already confined in the hospital that time.
So you couldn't watch.

Right before the performance, I took a peak at the audience.
I remember feeling my stomach turn and my mind go blank.
I remember almost chickening out.
I couldn't perform in front of those people.
It was too scary.

I tried to take a peak again.
And that's when I saw you.
You had wires and tubes attached to you.
You were really thin.
You looked tired.
But you were there.

I remember performing in front of you.
Not the hundreds of people, but in front of you alone.
I remember you smiling at me as I performed.

I remember that beneath the wires, tubes and the thin and fragile body, I saw beauty.

You used to constantly thank me for that.
For treating you the same way I did even before you were sick.

And I always questioned why.
Why did you need to thank me?
I should've been the one thanking you.
You were the one that saved me.
You were the one that kept me together.

You never really needed to thank me.
Granting all your wishes was the least that I could do for you.

I remember that your only wish to me was never to look at you as something broken.
So I didn't.
So I don't.
I will forever remember you as something beautiful.
