True love

Life is sacred, life is short 
Birth to death is an Olympic sport 
You start off with so much hope
Somewhere in the middle, its a downward slope

Happiness is not guaranteed 
Sadness though is just mean
Love is fun, quick and fast
Heartbreak however always lasts

Had my heartbroken first at 16, 
My first loved preferred men not me
The sweetest love however, that it was
What came after, taught me lots

Fell in love with a boy in a band
He played the guitar, girls always at hand
10 years of love, loss and fights
All that we did taught me about life 

Through all the heartache and his cheating 
I remember smiling and my heart melting 
Not everything was always bad
But I should of been smiling more than I was sad

My true love however , that is the key
He's the total opposite of me
6 ft 4 and 5 years younger
Our love is pure and full of laughter 

Yes we have our ups and downs
Struggles daily, heads not always in the clouds
I love this man with all my heart
Forever together never to part

When life gets hard he is always there
Doing small things to show he cares
When im blue his heart breaks too
When life gives us lemons we say f**k you 

Life gets hard, we all know that
And finding the good can be hard
But blink and you'll miss it as they say
Life is fragile, enjoy today

If your lucky to be in love
Hold it close and don't ever let go
He is my husband, I am his wife
Together forever in this life

I'd find him again in every life
I'm always proud to be his wife
For all the betrayal I have faced
At least I have him, my saving grace...
