You Won the War

I didn’t think my heart would ever be strong,
Strong enough to ever love again.
It had been trampled on, beaten down,
Told I would love, but I was always questioning when?

Then I was blessed with you,
I have promised to you I wont lie.
So to tell u the truth when I first found out,
I didn’t know what to do but to cry.

I couldn’t help myself but to cry,
I thought my life was already over, we were never going to meet.
Till I knew you were coming to me then I knew,
Knew that my life wasn’t over, it was incomplete.

But you changed that for me,
You created a whole new look of life made me whole.
You made me want to live forever,
You own me, my heart, my body, my mind, my soul.

There are still some times I still cry,
Feelings of sorrow wash in like the tide.
But those tears of pain are only from thoughts,
Thoughts that someday you wont be by my side.

Other tears are because of you,
The tears of happiness, just how I feel.
From the heavens up above,
From God my angel I did steal.

Ultimately you have won the battle,
Not to worry you also won the war.
Because of having you in my life,
On cloud 9 I shall always soar.

No matter what kind of day I've had,
No matter any words someone shall say.
You make all my troubles fade with a smile,
You are my best friend and I love you Jori May.
