I always thought that
our kind of relationship
only existed in dreams.
In the past
I did not want to let anyone really know me
Now
I find that I am telling you things about me
that I long ago forgot
because I want you to understand
everything about me
In the past
I only wanted people to see the best of me.
Now
I find that I do not mind your seeing my
faults
because I want you to accept me the way I am.
In the past
I thought that only I could make the
right decisions for myself
Now I can discuss all my ideas with you
and you can help me make decisions
because I have such a complete trust in you
In the past
I did not care how I treated people
Now
I find that I have a new sensitivity
towards everyone
because my softest emotions have been
awakened by you
In the past
love was a word that I was not sure of
Now
I find that inside of me
every fiber, ever nerve, every emotion,
every feeling,
is exploding
in an overwhelming emotions of love
I always thought that
our kind of relationship
only existed in dreams
Now
I have found out that
our kind of relationship
is even better
than my dreams
and the love that
I have discovered
is all for you.
