You

In my most vivid dreams I did not dream you up,
And in my passionate prayers I did not pray for you...
I spent my falling stars on trivial pursuits,
And on my new years eves I hoped for something new.
But in my dreams and prayers I asked like such a child,
For something to fill the hole I feel inside...
And on my stars and eves I asked with foolish pride
For someone I'd deserve and someone who deserves,
And in all my poetry I did not write you up.

Despite my foolishness, despite my childish dreams,
Life gave me something that is plainly seen:
It gave me you, my dear, my blessing in disguise,
And in this fucked up life, I found my fight...
Despite me asking for what I did not need,
Life gave me you and satisfied my plead
So for as long as needed, I will stand by you
And I will hold you to me, and finally be at peace.
