Hearing the words spoken
In love and respect
Makes my heart leap and regret
All the things that I’ve said.
Not believing the actions
The smiles
The love I did get.
Now
I know there was nothing pretend
All was truthful, out in the open
Love with no end.
I will embrace all that I have
Give back, be happy
Never again be sad.
For this that you’ve given me
I will embrace, love you forever
Knowing
It’s our chosen place.
