Dee

Eleven years of a bond we’ve kept private and deep

You’re the beautiful secret my soul wants to keep

When I was shattered, you were holding me close

You picked up the pieces of my broken nose

You always say the right things, you fix what is wrong

When I was giving up, Dee, you kept me strong

Funny and sweet, with an energetic glow

The most protective, sexy listener I’ll ever know

You’ll never know how much your unconditional love

Has been the very thing that I was dreaming of

When I wanted to quit, your words kept me here

Through the happy and the sad, you wipe away the tear

Through the good and the bad, you make my world a better place

Stolen moments in time that nothing can erase

The one man who makes my life a pleasant melody

Thank you for being a friend to me, Dee

I remember the nights when the tragedy fell

Listening to you cry, going through your own hell

When you lost the love of your life, I felt your pain

Just holding you close while we weathered the rain

Then you laid in that hospital, fighting for your life

I held back my tears and my anger and strife

But you chose your head nurse, and we made it on through

Our love only deepens, growing stronger with you

You’ll never know how much your unconditional love

Has been the very thing that I was dreaming of

When I wanted to quit, your words kept me here

Through the happy and the sad, you wipe away the tear

Through the good and the bad, you make my world a better place

Stolen moments in time that nothing can erase

The one man who makes my life a pleasant melody

Thank you for being a friend to me, Dee

Eating oatmeal under the stars, just me and you

That special, quiet moment hidden in the bamboo

So I hold on a little longer, I squeeze a little tighter

Every single hug makes the heavy days lighter

Gotta make it last me till I see you again

My anchor, my guidance, my beautiful friend

You’ll never know how much your unconditional love

Has been the very thing that I was dreaming of

When I wanted to quit, your words kept me here

Through the happy and the sad, you wipe away the tear

Through the good and the bad, you make my world a better place

Stolen moments in time that nothing can erase

Eleven beautiful years of perfect harmony

I love you forever, my sweet friend Dee
