I once asked myself what is true Love
I asked myself this question because of what I thought i had
I looked on her face, with complete admiration
For what she would be was a endless rotation
Never simply content with the cards she was dealt
She strove to gain more while I simply watched
I never understood why she kept running
well... maybe I did, i just wouldn't admit it
As I layed back and watched, Perfectly content with my world
She stood up and marched for a greater tommorrow
I still stand here, perfectly content with my world
and i know where she is, she will still be marching
for a greater tommorrow for her and her kids
and now I accept it, the fact she's not mines
I once thought it was sad... to never be happy
to live your life in a struggle when you could be happy
Hopefully one day she'll settle
but I know in my heart, it will never come near
for the cards in her hand, will never be good enough
And that's not a bad thing, for she will always have more
As i lay and relax, in all my postive ways
she will march onward for a greater tommorrow
so I began by asking what is true love
And really, I'm not sure
But if now, I can sit here, knowing She is gone
Knowing I will never see her again
and Knowing she will march onward
Even with all that, and all of our past
If I can still be happy knowing she is fine
then maybe True Love is there in knowing
The only way we can make each other happy
is by allowing us to not feel the pain
To look upon one's face
