So we're starting at the bottom

And working our way up

Building a relationship

Stronger than steel.

You said you'd loved me since day one

But on day one for me

My thought upon sight of you,

"No way."

I didn't want to fall in love again

Last experience was a miss

But as you pulled me closer

I started to forget

About the a**hole that lied to me

Who said they cared,

But didn't.

He made me throw my heart away.

In hopes that the pain he created 

And told me wasn't real

Would be unreal

and fade.

And as I'd hoped, it did.

But my heart didn't return undamaged

So your words of affection

Crash into brick walls

"I like your hair," or "I love your outfit,"

Couldn't break through

But baby girl and my dear

Took my breath away

My wobbling walls frighten me

Protection lost, now off-guard

I try to hold it up

But weakly slip again and again

I've always dreamed of this

And what you're giving tome

Is so kind and sweet

And I'm so flustered and can't say

I'm at a loss to respond with such

Power and beauty like you

No energy can create words 

To show you

That I'm so very happy

And I love you

I wish to give you

the world and more
