When a Man Loves a Woman

I was less once The day before I met you Before I saw myself through your eyes Before I believed I was worthy of a forever love A completing love I didn't know I didn't understand That I could love someone The way that I love you Moments have turned into years and years feel like moments I feel I can be me and still I want to be more because of you A better man A more giving considerate man My wish for you is to know that I have never stopped seeing you I appreciate the kindness and generosity of your soul You give of yourself each day Your heart is a truly splendid thing Your beauty takes my breath away I still feel shy when you look at me My body still aches with my need of you You are God's greatest and most treasured gift You are the proof that He Loves and knows me Yes, I was less once The day before I met you!
