You Always Knew

When the perfect storm descended, pouring rain came rushing into my heart Another relationship badly ended, breaking up waves tearing me apart Sinking in a lonely sea of tears, no one there to help me stay afloat I was ready to drown in my lost dreams, not able to reach my safety net of forget It was a miracle sighting your lighthouse, then getting rescued by your love lifeboat I never knew why you chose to save me, save me from myself You always knew you could help me learn how to love someone else ... again I'm so thankful you always knew how to help me find myself again too I'm so glad you came searching for me, pulled me out from the depths of my misery You always knew your love could change me You always knew You always knew I would open up my heart to you You always knew You always knew one day we would sail out together into the calm, clear blue This you always knew

Ty, Darren. You're still a young man. (Btw, "You're Still a Young Man" that is a great song and title by the seminal group Tower of Power ... check it out whenever you can.) Glad you liked my poem song. Appreciate your loving support. Love and peace to you.

Ty, Arthur. Dreaming of love is a dandy substitute for the real thing. I'll take that over having empty emotions in my heart or head. Love your support, my friend. Love always.

Ty, Cheryl. I love happy endings. Guess that's why my moniker is Romantic Warrior, eh. Love the love you always give me. Love and hugs to you.

Very cool song lyrics Freddie, The hook, "You always knew" is so very catchy and I know people would sing along with this timeless tale of love rescuing the sinking heart. Nicely done my friend.

Ty, Chris. A musician like yourself can appreciate a good title and tune. So those kind comments coming from you means a lot to me. Love you, my friend.

I can relate to your words here Freddie. My knight in shinning armour arrived 37 years ago. Very moving! 7 ; )
