lying, thinking
about how i found love
at a time i felt i needed nobody
for i thought i had found all i ever longed
but dem, i was wrong
for i sure thought i was strong
and i didn't need nobody else
you came and showed me something else
you showed me love
the unconditional kind
that which i thought was hard to find
cause even when i lose my mind
you do not hesitate on pulling me back to your side
and even when i push you off me
you still do not hesitate on trying to touch me
even when i go through extremes
you always have the right song
a melody of which i know so well
never did i ever think we would flow so well
cause even when you came along
i didn't want you to stay for long
but you did anyway
cause you are mine
and i am yours
so, in the end
i realised something;
i have the cake with the icing
there will be no more fantasizing
but i might never stop thinking
about how i found love.
