i've met my true love

there was a time when i was lonely
i was guarded, i was sad

& then i met you

there was a time when i felt nothing
i was careless, i was numb

& then i met you

an empty heart once filled my chest,
despondent, purely blue 

wishing for someone to love
& then i met you 

the first time that you touched me 

it was just like movies said;

something changed inside of me 

as all of you rushed to my head 

i could say it felt like magic, 

i could say it felt like fate, 

and in fact, it felt like everything 

you'd feel with your soulmate 

i love you more than anything

you're the water in my rain

the meaning of my smile

and the coals beneath my flame 

i've been dreaming of our future

conjuring pictures in my mind

of front porch swings and wedding rings 

of your heart faded into mine 

i've met my true love 

i am his and he is mine 

my bear

i miss you & i can't wait to see you again
