Cause You're Mine

In youthful bloom, I once did shine,
A beauty radiant, a heart so divine.
My laughter echoed, my smile so bright,
A joyous spirit, a love so light.

But time and life, they took their toll,
And changes came, my form began to unfold.
The mirror reflects a different face,
A woman worn, with a weary pace.

Your words, they cut, a painful sting,
"You've changed," you said, "and my love does cling
To memories of what once was, not what's now."
My heart aches, torn between love and doubt.

I search for answers, in the eyes of time,
For a love that's true, that's not just a crime.
I ask you, dear one, to see beyond,
To the beauty that time cannot wither or fond.

Take me to places unknown, dress me in finest attire,
And test my heart, for true beauty's not just a desire.
Let me show you, through the trials and strife,
That my love for you, is a love for life.

For though my outer form may fade and wear,
My inner self, my love, remains, and that's what truly matters there.
I'd walk the path of self-love, of growth and of might,
To show you, dear one, that true beauty shines from within, day and night.

In the silence, I hear a voice,
A whisper of hope, a heartfelt choice.
To love myself, to love you true,
To find the beauty, that's been hiding in you.

I'll rise above, the doubts and fears,
And find my strength, through all my tears.
I'll be the woman, that you once adored,
Not just a face, but a heart that's explored.

So let us journey, through life's unknown,
Together forever, our love will grow.
For I am yours, and you are mine,
Forever entwined, in this love divine.
