My soul mate and friend.



I have been hurt more times than I'd like to admit.
There are so many times, that I just wanted to quit.

And then one day, he walked into my life.
And eventually, I became his grateful wife.

He treats me like I am a queen.
And he never treats me mean.

I never thought that I deserved his devotion.
In my heart, I felt it must be a love potion.

That he was just tricked into loving me.
Because I was to blind to see the reality.

I thought it was a dream,  just too much to hope for.
What I failed to see, was that he couldn't love me more.

He helped me get past some of my pain.
So that my confidence, started to gain.

In him I found my soul mate and friend.
And I will love him, until our life's end.

And even then, I can't guarantee.
Because I will love him for eternity.
