For the mistakes of our pasts
Damage done by others
Meeting you was by chance
Finding a love so beautiful
Was purely a miracle
Love is a gift given with care
Sometimes opening a new world
The possibilities seem endless
Past abuse and unspoken fears
Faded slowly thanks to your love
Each kiss soothed my soul
The past can not be changed
Do overs are not promised
Life decisions cannot be erased
I will treasure forever
The lessons you have taught me
With each one I grew
My heart becoming a clean slate
You had become the artist
and I your waiting blank canvas
I gave you my whole heart
The best parts of me were yours
You handled it with care
My promise to you is friendship
A hand to hold in a time of need
Or a partner in crime I could be
I can now see that I was broken
My heart needed a do over
I needed to believe I was worthy
Loving you changed me forever
For you were the missing piece
Your love in a sense healed me
I am grateful for every moment
Do overs I have often sought
But I wouldn’t redo one second
You were my heart’s do over
The one that taught me to believe
I am capable of great love
