I've been in love before,
But that love left me broken and worn.
I've known what it's like to feel,
As if you've met your soul mate this time for real.
I know what it's like to go to bed at night,
And be next to someone who makes your heart feel bright.
I know what it's like to kiss someone and feel my heart soar,
Make the love in my soul newly roar.
But I also know what it's like to have that love hurt me.
I know what it like to be pushed into a tree.
I know what it's like to be made to feel like I mean nothing.
I know what it's like to go to bed hating.
I've cried so many tears,
And I've gained so many fears.
I truly thought that no one could ever love me the way I loved.
That no one could handle my bruises and my heart thats gloved.
But then you came into my life,
And you picked up all my heart and told me there was still light.
Feeling you next to me,
Made me feel so undeniably happy.
Just talking to you,
Makes my heart a little less blue.
I thought that after all my abuses,
I wouldn't be able to ever know again a love like this.
But everyday you are showing me,
To stand up to the tree.
To get up and dust off the hurt and the pain,
To thread back the life like a torn vein.
Everyday you show me I am worth loving,
And that even with all my war wounds I am worth something.
I fall more and more for you as the days go by,
And I hope to always have you by my side.
