Ever since I was little,

I've always dreamed,

Of that day I'd find,

That someone,

Like my parents.

Then that faithful day,

They both spoiled my dream.

Love isn't real.

It's a myth.

They lost eachother.

And after that,

I didn't know what was what.

I was afraid I'd be with people,

And never find that person,

That I was destined for. So each person I was with,

I invented the love,

Tried to convince myself,

I couldn't live without them,

That they were my reason.

That way I wouldn't feel as empty.

But deep inside,

I was.

I knew the truth.

I could live without them,

They weren't my reason.

At one point I thought I'd found,

The true feeling,

And I lost it the second time around,

Blinding me in between,

To the real.

When I finally realized it all,

I thought I had lost,

Everything I ever wanted.

What had I done?

I couldn't live without him,

I felt misery,

Constant pain,

Something I couldn't numb away.

He is my reason,

He does something for me,

Nothing or no one

Could do:

Banish all my pain.

Some things no one can ever fix,

But he's done more,

Than I've ever dreamed,

I can't promise this is forever,

But I can always hope

And remember the feeling,

Of true love,

Something some people,

Never experience.

I feel lucky.

It's a dream come true.

Everything I've always wanted to feel,

I do feel.

It's so strange,

Yet intriging at the same time.

How did I know,

That love was going to feel this way.

That I wouldn't want to change a thing,

And nothing means more to me.

I don't understand how this light,

Has taken me so far.

It's indescribable.

I think I can finally say,

I'm not afraid anymore.

I've found what I've been looking for,

And I'll do anything to keep it.
