Back to those days that were tough to get though
Claiming nothing was missing was clearly untrue
I now see I was blinded by a distressed point of view
When we collided I was shocked to realize
Feelings I missed now took me by surprise
Promised love unable to get past all the lies
Hope now appeared mysteriously before my teared eyes
Life lacked meaning until you resurrected me
Loneliness consumed by a world carefree
My dreams are now filled with love’s possibility
Like a journey ahead on an unpredictable sea
I get lost in your gaze while you prepare to speak
My heart melts with your sly grin of mystique
Your strong arms draw me in and you make my knees weak
While to your music I listen and enjoy our hearts speak
We savor each moment of the time we now share
Knowing how much that we both truly care
We are gambling on us leaving nothing to spare
Discovering a soul mate is so incredibly rare
Taking a breath as my life begins to transform
My outlook on love has now been reborn
You have awakened my heart and now keep it warm
Together, my love, you and I can weather any storm
