And Then He Gave Me You

When I was little so long ago I used to dream some day I might know. Back then I used to believe the world was lonely, horrible and dark. That life was hard and heavy and it saddened my heart. A hug and a kiss were empty and rare saying I love you was nothing but words in the air. I never knew how to play and to laugh without feeling like I was wrong and bad. As I grew older I remember I started to pray, "Please God please if this is my life, take me away." Then wake up with no sign of relief. Things would always seem colder darker and bleak. And Then... He Gave Me You. I never dreamed anyone can love me. The hugs and the kisses were abundantly free. Those three little words could be said with such weight that it touched your heart they made you feel great. That laughter and happiness were required in life. Because they made the cold and the dark somehow warmer and bright. Never till then did I feel I belonged. That I was wanted and needed until you came along. Now when my life starts to feel dark and so heavy clouding up my view. I can stop and find peace because he has given me you. You loved me completely with all that you are You made me believe I was wanted, and gave me faith in my heart.
