My Queen

My Queen

My mind was weighed down by ignorance and the fear of the unknown.  
I suffered from lack of knowledge and experience; the only 
opinion that mattered was my own. 

I have learned that that compromise is not as hard as it seems.  
You must be willing to put your personal feelings aside 
and listen; separate reality from dreams. 

I realized that you couldn’t tell how someone feels based solely 
on a person’s body language or facial expression. 
Their feelings may be hidden, a false first impression. 

I used to think that life would be simple if I remained alone, 
I only had to deal with only one set of emotions “My Own”.  

Now I understand that emotions may be expressed even though 
the feelings may not be mutual. 
Dealing with change makes a relationship successful.  

My pride kept me from acknowledging my own weaknesses;
I was accustomed to dealing with life on my own. 
The truth is, I was looking for you, the Queen to my thrown.
