When I was younger
I was a hopeless romantic
I believed that one day
I would find my soulmate
I fell in love with a boy
Before I knew what love was
I was just a girl
So I gave him my heart
This boy was my everything
That's what I thought at the time
I thought our love was true
I knew true love would last forever
I knew love wasn't always easy
So I truly gave it my all
Despite being treated like shit
I continued to fall
Our love was not true
I didn't know it then
I stayed true to my heart
Because our love was hopeless
I got lost in his eyes
They were a handsome blue
Like the eyes you see in movies
Movies are too good to be true
This boy broke my heart
He broke my trust, too
It was then that I realized
Love can hurt you
I kicked him out that day
Despite my heart saying no
My new mission
Became letting him go
As I spent time with myself
I came into the light
At the end of that road
Was a woman with pride
I spent a lot of time hurting myself
So I could finally break free
Eventually I made it
I could stop hurting me
The new normal
Was love
Not for a boy
But for myself
It was at that time
That my knuckles lay flat
They weren't flush anymore
From me holding myself back
I let go of that boy
Of the love that hurt
One day, in April
I swiped right
That's when I met you
A man with brown eyes
You were tall and funny
But we took our time
I don't just get lost in your eyes
Though they remind me of honey
I get lost in the moment
I hear our laughs echoing
We've only been dating for 3 months
But I feel most safe in your arms
I am happily in love with you
Even on days we spend apart
I didn't think I had trust to give
After being abused by that boy
But god damn it, babe
My trust is yours to enjoy
I've never felt like this before
It's like our lives just come together
As I catch my mind wandering
It tells me this could be forever
I thought I had lost hope in soulmates
I believed they simply don't exist
But my soul is truly happy with you
It's making me rethink things
I can't say for sure just yet
My mind is still reserved
But for the first time
My heart is with yours
My favorite memory of us
Is one that happens every night
When you pull me into you
And squeeze me super tight
It makes me giggle every time
I can feel the smile on your cheeks
Each time, you hold me close
As we both fall asleep
