You and I


I spent more than twenty years searching for love,

Which I dreamt of being warm, perfect, and sent from above.

I went to the ends of the Earth for the ideal guy,

Who I wanted to be dark, handsome, sweet, and shy.

I risked my life again and again to have my dreams come true.

You should have seen all the traveling, hard work, and planning I had to do!

And one day I thought my dream man had finally come at last.

We spent many years together, and the time went by oh so fast.

But then I found out he was the wrong person for me,

And I was left all alone with my loneliness and misery.

I thought I'd be by myself forever until you came my way.

And I fell more and more in love with you with every passing day.

Who would have thought you and I would have gotten together like this?

Right now we only know each other, as we share a perfect kiss.

We both know for a fact that this beautiful love is destiny,

As I stare into your loving eyes and get lost in all the ebony.
