That picture isn’t new. In fact, it’s 2 years old.
It was taken the night we went official and my heart became whole.
During the time I had lost someone, thought she was a good friend.
But soon I gained another, a die-hard til the end.
I didn’t know it at the time, but at the same time I did,
That he was the one for this really scared kid.
A sweetheart with grey-blue eyes,
He came and picked me up one night,
A prince charming if ever one existed, he rescued me from my life.
He rescued me from loneliness, from never having love,
He wasn’t a shot in the dark, but a gift from above.
During that cold winter — it was 2016 —
There were two people, and something burning in between
Not the kind of burn one gets from mere sexual attraction,
But something deeper, something meaningful, more than a call to action.
I had never been romantic, a one-night stand was all I had,
But there was just something about this bear of a man
That made me regard him in a trustworthy light
That made me see past simple beauty that lay in his eyes.
That made me see a person who was caring and polite,
A person who was raised to treat others right,
A person who was interested in me for all the right reasons,
And a person who could stick around throughout all the seasons.
For the first time in my life…
I believed I had it right.
He rescued me from loneliness, from never having love,
He wasn’t a shot in the dark, but a gift from above.
Now, when I look at that girl in the picture of me
I see a girl looking towards her future: hopeful and free.
Heart fluttering with the things that she’s never felt before,
‘Cause now she has a good man whom she wants to know more.
With a reason to smile, she’ll smile, and never quit.
She’ll never have to want for love/attention/care one bit.
This man, a teddy bear, the love of my life,
Turned into my husband, now of two months — time flies!
I know his family, know his friends, know all the pieces of him,
Of the fact I’ll never leave him, any doubt is slim.
In a way, the picture symbolizes a brand new beginning,
How I went from being a nobody to nonstop winning.
He rescued me from loneliness, from never having love,
He wasn’t a shot in the dark, but a gift from above.

Awesome! It’s amazing how people are put in our lives! Every connection is a learning experience and is vital to shaping us.
