Never Knew Love Before

We accept the love we think we deserve until we find what love truly isn't. Then we accept the love we KNOW we deserve

You came in like a whirlwind
A beautiful dust-storm in my life
Sprinkling your love around
Blowing away the sadness and strife.

I feel as if I've always known you
A familiar face I've found
Showing me love doesn't hurt
It's a symphony of sound.

Your music fills my heart till full
I'm singing all your songs
You've corrected all my wrong lyrics
You've corrected all my wrongs.

I thought I knew what love is
It hurt me every time
But with you I see it's beautiful
An angelic chorus line.

Cloud 9 was a place of fiction
Somewhere I've never been
You take me there daily
And show me time and again.

You show me the affection
I didn't know I missed
I feel it in your touches
And every time we've kissed.

You raise me up to reach new heights
Support me through and through
I don't ever want to lose this
I don't ever want to lose you.

I thought I knew was love is
But pain has littered my life
Now I know what love is
Future husband and wife.

Thank you for being you
It's all I'll ever need
Because with you, I will grow
Because you've planted this seed.

I love you E.
