Before you, I was trapped inside my own box of ideas of what love was supposed to be.
As far as I knew love brought chaos, betrayal and pain and that was good enough for me,
Because I had learned how to survive, or at least that's what I thought.
Never let the next chick one -up you,; what you won't do, she will, —that's what I was taught.
I didn't know just how much what I thought love to be, had hardened me.
Long before I had opened up, I had started on a journey,
To find myself, to love myself, to be open, to learn to trust,. m
My road to recovery Tthroughout this time I've learned a thing or two,
Mostly good, but there's some bad too.
Although I'm a giver, I can be selfish as hell.
At times a little too serious, and I pay close attention to detail.
While Oon this new path I came across you, or maybe you came across me.
Whatever it was it brought a about some curiosity.
I knew of you before, just never opened the door,
To let you in my world, so to speak.
But there you were again, crossing my path,
This time at a low point in my life, when I was just sgetarting to get back on my feet.
I tried shutting down but you found an alothernate way in, n
No matter how I acted, you continued to be you, Aand that's how itwe begin.
You've encouraged me Iin ways that you don't know.
You've knocked down my guard,
And made me comfortable with feelings I usually don't show.
And just when things started to look up for me, your life had come across a tough spot .
And in that moment I knew I had to return the favor,
To be a listening ear, and be a friend to show my appreciation to you, you never required a lot.
Over the months we became close, and we both agree we are now here for a reason.
So used to being in charge, and pretty much an asshole, but falling for you was out of my control,.
Battling with myself as if I committed treason,
I find myself staring into your eyes,
Wondering, is there more to you?
Is there a story behind it all, just waiting to be told, ?
The treasures you have buried inside you, what more could you behold?
Like staring out into the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves,
You bring about a peace into my life,
You balance me out, especially on bad days.
I find security wrapped away and tucked in arms,
You know how to make me laugh, I find comfort in your charm..
You're everything I ran away from in my past,
You must be everything I NEED,
Cause what I thought I wanted, God never allowed it to last.
