Everything Good

Everything good is because of you. 

Your friends are my friends;

your world is my world

and that world is beautiful.

Your concerns are my concerns

and your pain is my pain – 

its punch pure and blistering

but more meaningful

for the sharing of it. 

Everything good is down to you.

Your success is my success,

and though your failure

can sometimes feel like mine, 

my love grows stronger in its light. 

We are not the same person,

and that's hard to accept.

But through this acceptance

I can reach myself.

Everything good

is because of you.
