I thought of giving up
I thought of giving in
I never want to go back
To a past that has already been
I thought I’d throw in the towel
My fight has reached its end
An obituary to myself
I though I would send
I thought that I would tell love
I’ve finally given in
I guess I wasn’t born to love
Because in love I’ve never been
I might as well end it all
Because there is no use
All love does is baffle me
Then keep me completely confused
I figured this would be the way
To finally move on
What’s the use in trying?
When all reasons for trying are gone
But then all of a sudden
There appeared a face
When I first noticed her
I thought she looked out of place
Her beauty was breath taking
Her voice as soft as a summer day
A smile that told me
Love could be coming back my way
Suddenly I realized
She’s who I’ve been looking for
I told myself that I could
Love her for a lifetime or maybe more
The first tome we were together
She whispered, I love you
I held her close to me
I said, I love you to
It seems like many years have passed
Since that fateful day
I’m so glad she came my way
I’m so happy she decided to stay
