the hope of you changed my life forever

i gave up drinking because i needed you before i ever met you
i gave up cigarettes because i wanted you before i ever knew you
i gave up my job because i wanted to take care of you
i gave up my marriage because i wanted to protect you
i gave up you because you asked me to

the only way you will ever understand me is to walk in my shoes
i pray you never understand me but that someday you'll know

the hope of you changed my life forever

Author's Note: for my oldest who was born a daddy's girl but who has held my heart from the beginning
