I knew it was never going to be simple when I met you,
And frankly I never wanted it to be.
We were both looking for someone to enjoy,
Nothing serious for you and certainly the same for me.

You let me in,
Cautiously at first then more and more every day.
Your lips caressed mine and chains fell away,
And I found myself making room in my heart for you to stay.

I knew that I couldn’t keep you,
That loving you wouldn’t leave me the same,
But I needed to life my life,
And the scars within me were mine to blame.

The World came in and changed us both,
Our time and attention turned away from each other,
Chasing out our own sweet, personal dreams,
I to finish school and you became a loving mother.

Days upon days tumbled over themselves,
Each bringing their own strain and delight,
Although our roles to one another have changed,
You never wanted me out of your loving sight.

I look forward to the days and years to come,
To what journeys life between us brings,
May we always have each other,
As your presence in my life makes my heart sing.
