I cannot count the times I felt depressed
about my life and wanted just to quit.
I seemed to fail despite my very best;
I was tired of our life and wished to leave it.
Go on with you? I really didn’t care.
Our life together hardly meant a thing.
And I dismissed all memories we share;
giving up was far much easier a thing
to do. But then you rescued me.
You filled me with your strength, you made me strong.
Like a cool wind that’s blowing off the sea,
my soul’s refreshed. Together we belong,
to face the obstacles he throws at us,
while resting in your strength to this I must.

Do you mean 'quit' at the end of line 2? I like the enjambment '... far much easier/to do. But then ...'
Hehehe :) Yes. I meant quit. Thanks. I'll correct it.
