Where I Belong

Where I Belong

©2002 by Bud Lemire

I waited so long for a love that didn't arrive

A part of me died, even though I was alive

I found myself in a place, I have never been before

I didn't know where to go, or if I could open that door

The door was opened, and before me was someone I did know

She was a special friend that I knew some time ago

Her life had lead her, down some rocky roads

We reconnected, and we lightened each other's loads

She offered me all the love, that she could ever give

She gave me every reason, of a good life I could live

She offered each and every brightly shining star

And she was willing to take me away real far

I took her words, and held them close to my heart

And knew in my life, she played a special part

I thought I knew a love, that was always based on truth

But it was the pain of broken promises, like a pulling of a tooth

She kept me feeling all her love, each and every day

And I could sense it in her actions, and in every way

There wasn't any room for doubt, her love was very strong

I knew this was what love should be, and where I did belong

And at the time, I did go there, and did belong. It was the

greatest adventure and life to have experienced. But some

things come to an end, so we can continue life's experience

in other places and in other ways. And I went on to enjoy

more life in other places and with other people.
