Love to me
Was just a fantasy to fill the days
A lyric woven out of old clichés
A silly dream of how I thought I'd feel
But nothing real
Suddenly
My vague imaginings went spinning round
You turned my expectations upside down
So very different but so hard to shake
With you I'm awake and alive
And as we try and learn to fly
You quiet my confusion
True love requires the here and now
Much more than mere illusion
Now I see
It's not a fairy tale and not a game
Sometimes we falter but we keep the flame
And when I dream about a life with you
I smile at the future I see
Eternally
For you are love to me
