What did I see in you when we met?
Were you there to rescue me?
Were you there to take me by the hand
And show me how to be a woman?
Or did I just think thats what you were,
Or were supposed to be?
How was I supposed to know?
I wanted a magic formula,
A magic carpet
To take me away
From all the pain and confusion.
That was unrealistic, I see that now.
There is no magic.
Only me.
What I needed all along was right here inside,
Buried under all the confusion,
The riot of thoughts inside my head
That never quieted.
Even when I was asleep.
I had to learn so many things.
How to laugh,
How to think,
How to experience joy
And satisfaction.
How to love myself.
And loving myself,
Love you.
