Once, I was lost,
'til I found my way into your arms.
Once, I felt rejected,
'til you opened the door to your heart.
Once, I was used,
but my love was all you demanded.
Once, I couldn't believe,
but it's clear that from heaven you've landed.
Once, I felt abused,
but only for me would you raise a fist.
Once, I was distrusting,
'til I understood how honest love is.
Once, I was numb,
'til the touch of your hand sparked a new sensation.
Once, I felt purposeless,
but to express true love is my heart's elation.
Once, I was alone,
'til dreams of you took a lively form.
Once, I was melancholy,
now only for loneliness do I mourn.
