Traded My Tears For Happiness

Traded my tears for happiness,
He took my frown and gave it a lift.

I gave him my heart with all the strings,
No words can explain these feelings.

So I write them down and think of him,
The one who ended all of my suffering.

He was waiting for me to get it right,
To see for myself I don't have to fight.

He's the only one who's loved me for me,
I will never have to fake it or be who I don't want to be.

I don't know if I deserve his love and care,
Just know I'll never give up and always be there.

Love is truthful, and true, when faking and being something or someone we are not does not need to come into play...Always be and stay true..TAH
