I thought I was in love before
Then realized it wasn't meant to be
As time faded away so did those feelings
We were too different in many important ways
Maybe that was what I thought I needed at the time
It began to feel fake like an arraigned relationship
I grew older and had a better understanding of things
Like what I needed to complete me as a person
And the woman I wanted to soften my hardened heart
I have so much love and things to share
But I couldn't seem to find her
I was searching in the hay stack that didn't have the needle
Things hit us hard when we least expect it
But never deny when someone hits your heart
And that's what happened the day I met you
Unlike many others your beauty was not just skin deep
I started to learn who you truly were
And I was blown away by who and what I had found
I found the most amazing and beautiful woman I had ever met
She shares many of the dreams that I have
But at the same time created dreams that I never knew
Now I do finally know how love feels
And for the first time it is for real
I love you and always will
