There was a time I doubted her
I thought the years between us were too much
I doubted whether she’d understand
The complexities of my mind
So many thoughts of doubt I had
So I put obstacles
Of my baggage in her way
Pushed her away again and again and again
And hid behind my walls
But she never gave up
Because she loves me
I know I this now
She tells me age is just a number
That we meet somewhere in the middle
I know this now
For behind the Chanel and her jimmy Choo’s
Is the spirit of an old soul
Where as I am young at heart
She tells me she understands the definition of complexity
She’s tells me how she gorged on it and spewed it out
I know this now
She tells me she’s here to help carried the load I once called baggage
That I no longer need to struggle with it alone
I know this now
She tells me I do not need to hide behind vast walls
For her arms are the only protection that I need
and so she pulls me in towards her again and again and again
I know this now
And when on bended knee
I placed that ring on her finger
All the thoughts of doubt
I once had
All those foolish thoughts
Vanished in the breeze
Because she really does love me
