Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!

“But What I Got Was You”

Written By: Yours truly

I used to dream of a fairy tale marriage, when I entertained that sort of thing.
An endless love, like my grandparents shared, a house, a diamond ring.
But what I got was you.

I wanted a passionate man who would fight with me, or for me, when I so desired.
A man who had a doctorate in a prestigious field, that companies would fight to hire.
But what I got was you.

I wanted a man with black hair and blue eyes picked straight from the movie screen.
A man who made all the girls blush, coo, awe, and scream.
But what I got was you.

I wanted a man who made other men cower while treating me like a queen.
A man who put me in my place, without being too harsh or mean.
But what I got was you.

I could have a man who loved me only when I was pretty and thin.
A man who chastised me as I got too heavy because I embarrased him.
But what I got you.

I could have a man that stole my heart, along with every other woman in the town.
A man who would cheat on me, break my spirit, and thrive on bringing me down.
But what I got was you.

I could have a man who used me for my love and left me alone in despair.
A man who would forget his children without remorse or a single care.
But what I got was you.

I could have a man that scorned me, leaving me praying for the ability to forget.
A man who ruined every future relationship, leaving me with anger and regret.
But what I got was you.

You may not be my childhood dream but you are everything a husband, father, and life partner should be.
I will love you until time stands still, until the stars fall from the sky, until the last breath I have leaves me.
Because all I have is you.
