The past in my life had been empty and cold,
I was deathly shy and never was bold;
And then one summer I would discover
The best thing to have in life is a lover.
She gave me her heart and I gave her mine,
I thought with her it would be fine;
Over the months I would pay the price,
She broke my poor heart not once, but thrice.
Each time the pain brought me much strife,
I wanted to keep her here in my life;
We never held hands, kissed or cuddled,
Why I held on still has me muddled.
She said that she loved me, that I was The One,
And talking to her was always real fun;
Then along came a feeling deep down inside,
I could not repress it no matter how hard I tried.
A new love had blossomed, had bloomed in my heart,
From all of my past I soon would depart;
It opened my eyes and helped me to see
That all I want is you here with me.
It took me some time to work up the words,
The thought that you'd love me seemed quite absurd;
That someone so beautiful would ever agree
To take up my hand, it just could not be.
This internal debate had me distraught,
Then finally one day I said what I thought;
This was a great chance that I did take
And turned out to be the best move I'd make.
Now I'm free from all worry, alive without sorrow,
Except when we part until the next 'morrow;
Relieved from the hurt, unscathed by pain,
Comforted by that smile again and again.
Rain or sunshine, intense cold or heat,
As long as you're near this heart shall beat;
For the rest of my days this one thing is true,
This heart that I have will belong to you.
