When you took my hand, it was the start of something new
I didn't know what it had besides me and you
When you took my hand, I was but a shell
You helped me become better, you helped me become well
When you looked into my eyes, you saw the real me
Complex yet simple, you saw what other couldn't see
When you looked into my eyes, you accepted who I am
Every good and every bad, you swore it was no scam
When you told me you loved me, I thought it was a dream
As if life were playing its nefarious scheme
When you told me you loved me, I didn't think it was real
Probably because I was still trying to heal
When you kissed me for the first time, I just stood in place
In shock as I felt your lips on my face
When you kissed me for the first time, it felt as if I've known you forever
And as the seconds went by, each moment grew better
