Blinded By Love

I didn’t look for you. I wasn’t looking for a new friend and I definitely wasn’t looking for love. 
      Love hurt deep it also took every breath I had and my energy along with it. 
      I don’t find myself beautiful. I find myself a  that has used one too many people in my life. While others have used me as a doormat to get what they want. 
       I wasn’t looking for you then. I had a child within me while merely being a child myself. I didn’t think I deserved what love had to offer. 
        Your eyes I got lost in and in your arms I found my home. You showed me I am worth love. 
       You’re my best friend, my home, and together we have made a home with a welcome mat outside the front door. 
   I wasn’t looking for you. I wasn’t looking for a friend but they found me with you. 
   If you ever get lost without me I promise to look for you until I find the eyes I get lost in and the arms I call my home.
