Dim-lit nights, I drowned my sorrows deep,
Seeking love in the haze, where secrets silently seep.
Using fleeting moments to escape the ache inside,
Loneliness and desperation, my constant guide.
In the tangled sheets, I sought a temporary thrill,
But deep down, I begged for a love that's real.
Then you appeared, a star in the dark night,
You saw through my disguise, brought my darkness to light.
Together we found a love so true,
You taught me to be better, to start new.
In this tangled web of passion, I sought a fleeting flame,
But beneath the surface, I craved a love that would never wane.
Using intimate encounters to mask the pain I felt,
But true acceptance and love, I had never truly dealt.
In the heat of the moment, I sought a temporary high,
But deep down, I longed for a love that would never die.
Then you appeared, a star in the dark night,
You saw through my disguise, brought my darkness to light.
Together we found a love so true,
You taught me to be better, to start new.
Wrapped in your arms, I found a sanctuary,
A love that goes beyond the physical, setting me free.
You showed me the power of a genuine connection,
In your love, I found my ultimate redemption.
You appeared, a star in the dark night,
You saw through my disguise, brought my darkness to light.
Together we found a love so true,
You taught me to be better, to start new.
No longer hiding in the shadows of my past,
With you, I've found a love that will last.
From the grasp of desperation, I've risen above,
Thanks to your love, I've become a better man, my love.
