But You Didn't

Remember the day, I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me
but you didn't.

Remember that day, I said something awful due to my bad temper?
I thought you'd be mad at me
but you didn't.

Remember that day , I vomited strawberry pie all over your new carpet?
I thought you'd hate me
but you didn't.

Remember that day, I dragged you to the beach, and it really was raining as you said it would?
I thought you'd say."I told you so."
but you didn't.

Remember that day, I forgot to tell you that dance was formal wear. and you ended up wearing jeans?
I thought you'd abandon me.
But you didn't.

Yes, there were lots of thing you didn't do,
but you put up with me,
loved me,
protected me.
There were lots and lots of things I wanted to make up to me.
when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
