"Before You"

Before You,
no one ever told me they loved me,
with that look in their eye,
no one ever said that I was beautiful,
no one really sounded like they cared…
Before you,
no one thought that I was perfect,
no one told me I could truly succeed,
not one person would spare a passing glance,
I couldn't count on anyone,
to be there when I needed them,
I didn't have the joy,
of making someone's life perfect.
Before you,
I didn't believe in myself,
or in others,
love was just a myth,
happiness was a dream,
But now that I have you,
I have all of these things, and much… much more,
you're perfect, and I love you,
and I… am forever yours, my love.
