For
all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I’ll be forever thankful, baby
It was a warm summer night, the sky was full of stars which shined
brightly. There was silence everywhere, not a person in sight. Only
breathing of a young man standing on the balcony could be heard. He looked
as if he was waiting for someone, someone he loves.
He was thinking about her. About Denise. About a girl he loved deeply, a
girl that changed him completely. He was nothing without her. She helped
him make his dreams reality, she was always encouraging him to go further,
to not pay any attention to those who wanted to see him down. She was his
strength, his reason for living, his light at the end of a dark tunnel.
She was his everything.
You’re the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who saw me through
Through it all
Denise was always there for him, pushing him and guiding him through dark.
But she was always careful not to push him too much, not to hurt him. And
he
was always grateful to her for that. He was grateful for all the love she
gave him. For all the sacrifices she made in order to help him make his
dreams reality.
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith cos you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
It wasn’t until that very night, he realized how much she really did for
him. What about her dreams? Her hopes? Her future? Lately, he was so
caught up in the success he had with Westlife, success she helped him
achieve, that the thought of her dreams didn’t even cross his mind. And
now, 6 years since the day they met, since the day he saw his other half
for the first time, the love of his life, a girl, he knew was one in a
million, he was standing on the balcony of their house, remembering all
that has happened to him the last few years. How he became a full person
when he met her, his Denise, how she was always telling him he was gonna
make his dreams a reality one day, how they shared their never ending
love, how they were exchanging sweet words of love each day for the past
few years, how they made plans for future, their future together. And he
remembered all the love she was always giving him.
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I’m grateful for each day
You gave me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was
Loved by you
- “Bryan?” – he heard a deep voice
behind him. He turned around and smiled at the man standing on the door.
–
“Come inside, don’t be all alone here. “ – the man said caring.
- “I’ll be right in, Shane.” – Bryan
said and turned around to look at the sky again. When he heard the door of
the balcony being closed, he closed his eyes, and once again, all the
memories came back to him.
Just
as he was deep in his own thoughts, he felt a soft breeze on his skin. And
then he heard a quiet laughter. Laughter he loved so much, a laughter that
kept him going all this years, a laughter he missed so much. He knew today
was the last time he was gonna hear that laughter, as he was standing on
the balcony of his and Denise’s house. A house she ever so carefully
decorated. He remembered how she used to spend most time on the baby’s
room. A baby, which angels brought to him and Denise. And then those same
angels came back and took their baby and Denise away from Bryan. He could
never understand why.
Two
tears made their way down Bryan’s cheeks, as he kept standing on the
balcony, remembering about his loved one.
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn’t speak
You were my eyes when I couldn’t see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You gave me faith cos you believed
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
He turned to look at all of his dear friends and family inside. He smiled
to himself. What would he do without them? He didn’t know, but he
didn’t even want to think about that. It was enough that he lost the
only woman he every truly loved, and their baby. A part of her. And with
that, he lost a part of
himself.
He knew he had to be strong. He knew that is what his Denise would want.
And not grieve after her, but to be happy for all those moments they spent
together, knowing that one day, they would be together again. And it would
be forever. . . .
He slowly turned around, got in the house, where he was greeted by hugs
and caring words all around him. . . . He was grateful for every minute
God gave him with Denise. . . .
He could hear a soft voice singing. . . . Or was it just his imagination?
You were always there for me
The tender wing that carried me
A light in the dark
Shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world was a better place
Because of you
