For My Gem...
There was a time, not long ago I thought I understood
But standing here right now I see, I really never could
Though my heart was there completely, my mind was still adrift
Only now I see so clearly, why true acceptance is such a gift
I always thought I "got it",-each soul has the right to be unique
My Honey liked to play "dress up" and his secret I would keep
But it's only now that I do realize, It's only now that I can see.
That standing here before me, is her looking back at me
It's no longer what he's wearing. It really never was
It is only now I see her, in everything thing he does
All those things that I so treasure, that had stole my heart one day
The kindness and compassion, the gentle, loving way...
All these things I love about him, that soul that's bound with mine
Turns out belongs to her. She has been here all this time
It's her that has been in disguise. Not the other way around
When opening up both heart and mind, the truth is finally found
It is not he that wears her clothes, it is her that wears his skin
For the one the world sees on the outside, is not the one who lives within
Happy Anniversary, My Love
Thank you for for coming into my life
and showing me what "true love" really is...
