ThE EsSeNcE oF LiFe Is YoU

While searching for the real essence of life,
I stumbled upon you.
You said you were what I was looking for
Now I'm beginning to believe that it's true

I admit at first I was hesitant
And found you to be a source of the blame
But in reality you were my antidote;
The healing to all my pain

I still didn't believe you were the center point
Or the main figure in my life
But it seemed that every time I made a mistake
You were always there to make it right

You knew I had been hurt before
And you offered to take it slow
You did what no other man has done for me;
You let your emotions show

You gave me a chance to explore my options
Knowing ultimately what I would do
And sure enough, I wanted no one else
And I came back for you

I knew I had deep feelings for you
But love didn't cross my mind
Until eventually I began to realize
That I wanted you to be all mine

I'm glad that you were the answer
To my search for the essence of life
I have become your princess and queen
And you've become my prince and my knight

I said you weren't the one for me
And yet again, you proved it untrue
And now I see the essence of my life
Is forever being with you
