I was blind to the pain
Thought I loved her
But I realized my mistake
And you entered my life
I thought she was the best I could have
Believed I was destined to be lonely
But in my hour of need after she was gone
You were there to help pick up the pieces
You did not pick up all the pieces
You kept one for yourself
And have offered me a piece of you in return
I am glad you are a part of my life now
I was speechless as you stole our first kiss
Did not understand how you could be interested in me
Did not think I was worth that attention
You helped show me that that is not the truth
I hold you in my arms
Soaking up your compassion and beauty
As you kiss me again I catch my breath
I really do deserve to have such affection
I see something pure starting here
Something worth nurturing and cherishing
We have both been through a lot of pain
I deserve to be treated as you can treat me
And you deserve nothing less than all I can give
I truly hope this is a glorious beginning
For from the angle at which I stand
The darkness of the past is brightened
By the warmth of your embraces
And the radiance of your beauty
