I always thought that our kind of relationship
only existed in dreams

In the past
I did not want to let anyone really know me.
Now I find that I am telling you things
that I long ago forgot because I want you
 to understand everything about me
 

In the past 
I only wanted people to see the best of me.
Now I find that I do not mind
your seeing my faults because
 I want you to accept me the way I am.

In the past
I thought that only I could make the
right decisions for myself
Now I can discuss all my ideas with you
and you can help me make decisions because
 I have such a complete trust in you

In the past
I did not care how I treated people
Now I find that I have a new sensitivity
towards everyone because my 
softest emotions have been awakened by you

In the past
love was a word that I was not sure of..
Now I find that inside of me every fiber,
 every nerve, every emotion every feeling
 is exploding in an overwhelming
 emotion of love and that love is all for you
 

I always thought that
our kind of relationship
only existed in dreams-

Now I have found out that
our kind of relationshop
is even better than my dreams
