It.. Just… Happened… 

It wasn’t like she planned it

It was never in her cards

To find the perfect gentleman 

And win him with only her charm

She tried over and over

With silly little boys

Who used her up, time and again

Just like one of their toys

But this time it was different

It wasn’t like the rest

This time she was the victor

A step above the rest

The unfamiliarities

The stresses and joy

Of being so deeply loved

By a real man; not a boy

We met in the place we were destined

To learn a lot of life lessons

About the truth behind love,

Family, Friendship, and Time

It was like the sky was falling – 

The floor falling out from beneath me

Anytime I reach out for help 

You’re always the first thing I see

You run your hand through my hair

Each stroke erasing a little more pain

You’re patience and kindness

Calm my crazy-insane

You embrace me in your arms

Which have now become my heaven

You give me the love I have dreamed of

Since I don’t know when

BUT WHY?

WHY ME?

Why do you fancy to love someone

Who isn’t the best you see?

Why do you tell me I am beautiful?

Why do you show me affection?

Why would you want to be with me?

I don’t deserve all the attention.

The chaos in my brain

The healing in my heart

The forgiveness I have poured out

You were my place to start

I had to learn to let it all go

The past and everything in it

And to embrace the love around me

Because together, we just fit
