I have always been ancient Too thoughtful Always a mother even as a child So when I first fell in love I threw out my caution I immersed myself in him When our time was done my old soul said wait There is more yet to come So I waited And waited And got hurt over and over I thought that he was it My true love But then I realized there is no such thing Love is a choice And true love just means you stay loyal to that choice So now I've found someone new Well new to me He doesn't know exactly how I feel But he causes fires in me I hope he doesn't hurt me And maybe he will choose me But I know no matter what I'll make it through Because I am a new me I am stronger than I thought I can survive because everything is a choice And I choose to be brave
