I was walking, all alone.
Thinking of all the hard times I've known.
How my life was plagued by fear,
Often wishing the end were near.
How could I have endured such pain?
Knowing my efforts were all in vain.
I wondered why it took so long,
To discover things were terribly wrong.
Would I ever recover, find peace of mind?
Meet someone who was loving and kind?
Then I saw a smile so warm,
It could calm the fiercest storm.
And with this smile, a voice so sweet,
Then you swept me off my feet.
Your soft embrace, your tender touch,
The little things that meant so much.
I wondered if you were really real,
If your love would ever be mine to feel.
It was so hard to trust again,
I wanted a lover, but needed a friend.
Someone to make everything allright,
To hold me close throughout the night.
A man with love to freely give,
One who without me, cannot live.
Someone who never questions why,
But holds me close each time I cry.
I feared you would not want the same,
And I would never carry your name.
I worried it was too much to ask,
To take on such a lifetime task.
To be a husband, and life long friend,
To give up the freedom that you had.
Still something inside me made me pursue,
And somehow, someway, I just knew.
God sent you to me, to make things allright,
To make sure I had no more lonely nights.
Now time has passed, and still we are one.
I hope you never regret what you've done.
For you've made me so happy, I cannot explain.
I've almost forgotten my years of pain.
Thank you so much for taking a chance,
For letting me experience "True Romance"
You've given me love I've never known,
And I'll never again have to walk alone.
