My Forever, After

Fate brought us together,
Destiny showed us the way.
The Future is what we have together.
I loved you the moment I saw you,
The first time I heard your voice,
Felt your lips upon mines,
Felt your touch.
For the rest of my life your the only man I want to kiss,
The only man's touch I want to feel.
And the only man I want to grow old with & see every waking day of my life.
I'm beyond lucky to have you by my side.

Today is a gift,
Tomorrow isn't promised.
But I'm gonna promise to love you til my very last breath.
I didn't fall in love with you.
My heart knew the moment you entered my life you were the one meant for me.
When two souls are meant to become as one.
They search the earth until they find each other.
Our souls knew what we had no clue of.
We didn't even try & fight what they told us.
All because we just knew....
You were meant for me and I was meant for you.

You're my one love of a lifetime.
I knew from the bottom of my soul,
You're everything I've prayed my life to find.
I knew in my soul your the one meant to heal my shattered heart,
You're the one that'll protect me from harm.
My shoulder to lean on,
My ears to listen when I've had a bad day.
The one to make me smile when I don't wanna smile at all.
The one who will be my remedy to every bad day I may have.
You're my happily ever after.
Everything I've ever dreamed of is you.
You're absolutely perfect in every way imaginable to me.
My missing puzzle piece,
My other half.

You sir are the love of my life.
No doubt Love.
You hold the heart that is meant to love me.
And I hold the heart that is meant to love you.
Never letting this go......
You are all I want and everything I need.

Why Me?

So many years spent getting knocked down.
Then turning around & picking myself back up.
Beaten black, bloody, & purple.
Bruised from head to toe.
Tears stream down my face,
While I still stand back up and ask "Is that all you got?!"
Only to get knocked back down.
No use in running away they'll find you anyway.
Year after year wishing the last blow would just end my life.
Praying for God to take me home.
Never was a prayer answered.
Apparently cuz I'm still here.

They say he never gives you more then you can handle.
Well damn he must have faith in my strength for all the hell I've been through.
So tired of the pain and tears.
Just wanna be safe; feel safe.
Have arms that hold me;
Not knock me to the ground.
Words that are kind;
Not words that try so damn hard to tear me down.

I'll never understand why me?
A good woman; with a caring heart.
I must of committed some horrible crime in a past life.
To have to live the life I have lived.
I just keep asking why me?!
Do I not deserve to be loved?
Do I not deserve to feel safe?
Once upon a time I must of never been right.
To have lived day in & out in fear for my own life.

Looking for love in all the wrong places.
Never understanding why they never loved me.
Just want arms that protect me,
Not abuse me.
Lips that kiss & words that heal my broken heart.
I've only dealt with words that slice thru me like a newly sharpened knife.
I'll never understand why me?!
Just looking to finally relax & be safe.
To be able to stop looking behind my back.
Stop with the cold sweats & sleepless nights of being beaten into a pulp.
Is it to much to want to be loved & feel safe in the arms of a man who's only crime is loving me unconditionally?
Just lookin for love, safety, happiness & a life long kind of love.
There's nothing I wouldn't sacrifice for a love like that.
True, real, one in 6 billion kind of love.
