And Then I Met You

By N Lakshmi Purna

The word love never quite fit right on my lips...and then I met you.

I never knew what it meant to feel butterflies... And then I met you.

My heart was a dull puzzle, a huge part missing... And then I met you.

Then, Like a perfect piece, you fit right in.

And after I met you oh, beloved mine

My heart glowed brighter again.

Surrounded by people yet I was so alone...and then I met you.

Deep inside my soul I was drowning in pain...and then I met you.

Then something sparked in me, like and ember pushing through darkened coals.

And after I met you oh, beloved mine

My heart felt lighter again.

Hand in hand with you I'll cross all roads of life.

And if you choose a path full of hurt and despair,

I'll gladly walk it with you a million times again.

Because after I met you, oh  beloved mine,

My life felt like it was mine again....
